I am impressed with Nootropic's Depot Micronized Zinc. So much so that I decided to log into reddit and post a review (which i never do).
I previously have never been able to take standard zinc supplements too often as they usually always cause me to get nauseated. ND micronized zinc causes me no nausea at all even when i take it on an empty stomach.
Acute effects: The first thing I noticed when I took ND's zinc is that it potentiated my prescribed Adderall dose. The potentiation was almost uncomfortable. I could easily see this being used for someone who is on stims and wants to reduce their dose to help reset their tolerance.
Long term effects: After about a week or so of taking it I started noticing my testosterone was definitely boosted (Im 37). I noticed I was occasionally getting a few pimples and my libido was through the roof.
I have since reduced my dosage and now take approx. 1/4 of a capsule daily. I also take a week off here and there to prevent copper deficiency (which Zinc supplements can cause). Every morning I break the capsule open and dump my dose out. It is virtually tasteless and is easier than it sounds.
Overall I am very pleased with this supplement…

MYSAD mentioned putting it in his upcoming Sleep stack, so I'd been taking the trademarked zinc "Optizinc" right before bed.
I'm surprised to hear it gives you such a good boost. Have you noticed it making you calm or sleepy at all?

We were going to use L-Optizinc in our sleep and immune stacks, but the patent holder would not let us put the amount we wanted in. They wanted us to have OVER the RDI for a man in each stack. That's waaaaaay too much zinc. This is especially true if you are taking both stacks, or are a woman/lower weight. So we searched for a better alternative, and this is what we came up with!
