This video is about zinc. A lot of questions about zinc. What the fuck is zinc? How does it increase testosterone levels? What does it have to do with testosterone? Everything will be covered in this video. Alright, I have my notes here. Look down. Not like ignoring you. I'm just making sure I cover everything. Okay, first and foremost. Why is zinc essential for all men? What the fuck is going on? First and foremost, keep in mind that if you have low T, if you're struggling from some kind of energy problem, sex problems, confidence problems, drive problems, passion problems, purpose in life, this and that and the other, might be a deficiency in your minerals or vitamins. Vitamin D, zinc, magnesium. These are the three main ones. I've made videos about them in the past. This one is all about zinc. So it is one of the top three deficiencies in men all over the world. Not just America or Canada all over the world. Now, low T is a prominent feature of zinc deficiency. On average, if you see a man who is low in zinc, he's probably also low in testosterone. Zinc plays that big of a role in T levels. Next, zinc is not just important for synthesis of testosterone. It is also responsible for the storage of testosterone and the secretion of testosterone. Testosterone secretion is obviously important because if you produce it and you store it and you don't secrete any, you can't use it. Okay? So all three. So how does... Okay, you might not know this about antigen receptors, but the way testosterone works is it binds to it... So testosterone goes inside the cell, it diffuses. There's nothing taking it inside, it just diffuses in. There's an antigen receptor inside the cell, testosterone binds to it, and then the antigen receptor travels to the nucleus for gene expression and so on. The fingers of that testosterone receptor, the antigen receptors are made out of zinc. Holy fuck. So if you have a zinc deficiency, you may not even be able to transport testosterone because you may have this malfunctioning antigen receptor. And antigen receptors are not just for testosterone, it's also for DHT, it's for all antigen hormones, not just testosterone. So zinc, very, very important. Now, okay, this is also important. Testosterone will never be converted from cholesterol, right? So you may be okay with having a lot of cholesterol in your body so you can produce testosterone because cholesterol is what is used to produce testosterone, but without zinc, that cholesterol won't be able to produce testosterone. This is the mechanism involved in zinc processing. Now, how does all this work? There's a paper just last year, 2018, in the journal Metabolism. There is a zinc transporter known as ZNT8. There's many zinc transporters, but ZNT8 is an important one. It transports zinc to the latex cells where testosterone is produced. And testosterone production happens through the PKA pathway, protein kinase, don't worry about that name. ZNT7, zinc transporter 7, is also a major factor. There were genes that were silenced and zinc processing is affected if you silenced the ZNT7 gene. So it's very, very important for the functioning, the activation, the actual beneficial production of zinc and what it does for our bodies. That's to keep in mind. Also, when they silenced the ZNT7 gene, there was an effect on testosterone production. So the ZNT7 transporter gene, they're right now doing research on it, and they're looking at ways to target that pharmaceuticals through a drug, and maybe that will help in increasing testosterone levels. Man, motherfuckers are researching this all the time. Now, all these low-T hypo-gonatal symptoms, hypo-gonatism is when you have low testosterone, it's just a scientific name for it. All of these, man, it's like stuff growing on my, I mean, I'm in a jungle here, there's natural things that are everywhere, like you feel them, stuff like cartilage or whatever, or do my phone. Anyway, all of these hypo-gonatal low-T symptoms, can be cured with Zinc Supplementation. Zinc Transplantation. Zinc Supplementation. So they've done studies in athletes, they've done studies with people who are not so active, they're just kind of like couch potatoes, and still just changing their diet, to include Zinc Supplementation through pills can improve their testosterone levels. So Zinc is that important. Zinc Finger Protein, I told you about, it's involved in the secretion of testosterone, the exact mechanism we don't know about. All right, next, erections in libido. Obviously, the reason Zinc is important is because, if you have low-T and you treat it with increasing your Zinc, and I'm going to get into the Zinc food soon, so you can eat those foods as well, include them in your diet. Obviously, if you have low-T, then you're going to suffer from erections in libido, morning wood, drive, muscle gains. I mean, you're going to suffer from all that stuff, so Zinc is super, super important. All right, now let's get into sources of Zinc. Red meat, lamb and beef. Eat that shit, man, grass fed. Don't eat conventional, don't eat low quality. Eat really good meat, even if it's a little bit. Eat really good meat. Oyster, sunflower seed, sesame seeds, and raw dairy. Man, I've started eating raw dairy lately. Game changer. Like, I just literally stopped eating potatoes and rice and all that stuff. And I only shared this stuff with the Efforty Academy, but I'll tell you, too. I eat, I drink raw milk, yogurt, kefir, sour cream, and raw cheese every day. It's so good. All my farts are gone. Cut is just clean as a mother fucker. I feel good. A lot of power, a lot of energy. I never get, take a lot of action, a lot of do with the body. Visit Baniya twice a week. Dan Salsa, do these videos, work out every day. I mean, it's, you know, fuck, I... Just, it's really awesome. Okay, try raw dairy if you got it in your neighborhood. Okay. Okay, how many grams do you need? Okay, 30 milligrams per day is plenty. You can get them from ZMA. Z, Z, ZMA, I'm sure you know about that. You take it as aspartate when you take it with ZMA. Four or five years ago, that's what I did when I was deficient in zinc. Now I'm good. You also get magnesium. And I'm going to cover magnesium in a completely different video very soon. Yeah, any, get any good brand of zinc doesn't matter. Don't, there's no good brand as you sink. Just get it. ZMA, I mean. Now, for more information about zinc, increasing your tea levels, getting that drive bag, getting that masculinity back, getting those gains at the gym, all that stuff. You can start reading that in the next two minutes. Click the links below. Get those free books, man. These are hundreds of dollars worth. I'm giving them away for free.

So read it and start boosting your testosterone ASAP. And again, you want to learn more about the Aphrodite Academy. What we do, what Aphrodite is, all the ingredients inside, all the transformations, all of that. Again, link below. Click and have fun. Eat those foods, man. Look, I've tried all the diets. Keto, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, everything. And I can tell you right now that it's very hard to get zinc. You can eat all the sunflower seeds you want. You can take all the ZMA that you want. Because look, ZMA is not bioavailable. It's a pill. It's not even a powder or a drink. It's just a pill. It's not really difficult to have that absorb into your system fully. So yeah, your zinc may go up, but then there are other ions that will compete and get fucked up a little bit. So I highly recommend lamb and red meat really, really good. Raw dairy. Eat good food, bro. Eat really, really good food. Get your blood test done. Listen, if you don't know your zinc levels, if you don't know your blood levels of testosterone, free testosterone, bioavailable testosterone, SHBG, vitamin D, zinc, albumin, magnesium, cortisol, acridile, like all these tests you need to get done, ASAP, prolactin even. Well, the guys are high and prolactin. We have members in the Afro-D Academy who discover because they're in the academy and they have so much support, they discover that they have a fucking, it's not a malignant tumor, but a benign tumor, like a tumor in their brain or assist even. And then through the help of the Afro-D Academy, because we have a lot of experts in thyroid. We have guy named Ivan from Bulgaria. He's an expert in the thyroid hormone. He's been all over the world, trying to fix his thyroid problems. He also had a cyst in his brain in the pituitary gland. And, or the hypothalamus, or both, I don't remember right now what it exactly it was, but he helps us a lot. And so, yeah, man, you can learn all that in the description below, really, really take care of yourself and measure everything. Numbers are everything, man. Like, don't go for the looks, or the, what other people think of you, it doesn't matter, man, it's how you feel inside. And numbers don't lie. See ya. Love you, man.
