Zinc: There are indeed many excellent articles on this topic. Zinc in low doses is quite safe.
Are you having problems with erections?
Are you exercising regularly?
I would have your doctor order the labs related to testosterone. If they are all OK-- great!. If not your doctor will proceed to find out the "why's".
