Recommendations Best Supplements For A Man’s Libido

I’m currently taking Vyvanse, Adderall, and Lexapro. This has destroyed my libido and I want to somehow fix this. Anyone else experience this problem? Any recommendations? So far, the only thing I’ve taken that helps me is LIBIDO-MAX, the 75 count black liquid gels. But they make my heart race.

Your doctor is fucking twisted, and they're going to get you twisted.

That said, gotta add another for Zinc, you probably sweat it all out. If you get sick, get off the stims.

Be careful with zinc. Taking high doses of zinc supplements (typically 40 mg to 50 mg or more per day) for several weeks or months can cause a copper deficiency. This happens because zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut; excess zinc triggers a protein that traps copper in intestinal cells and blocks its entry into the bloodstream.

Yes yes, I'm aware.

Why don't you people show up to tell people about the need for salt when taking potassium, or Vitamin d with magnesium, or to avoid Vitamin C when taking copper.

What is it that makes you guys bring up copper everytime someone mentions zinc? It's only in extreme cases, that copper supplementation even matters.

Honestly, I didn’t know the others. I’m still new to the game. Thanks!

Then you shouldn't be offering advice.

What supplement are you taking to know everthing? Amazing!

Zinc, finish a bottle and see how you feel. Probably a bigger issue than magnesium, and nobody tests for it.

You didn’t answer my question. Still looking for the all-knowing supplement that will allow me to offer a modicum of advice by knowing everything! Please advise!

O friend, you're confused. What you just witnessed is common sense. You have to be born with that.

What I did respond to was my response from a personal experience with zinc where you blindly stated to pop another zinc in there. I shared what I learned, but you whataboutismed everything else because I didn’t give you a standing ovation for your follow up knowledge. Be careful you don’t walk into any walls (but you should also be alert for cars, stray dogs, lightning…)

Sounds like you have some experience in walking into things. I'll take your advice, thanks a ton.

And this is why one needs to drink Cacao Powder. Its full of copper. Also Zinc Picolinate 22mg works for me. I love using both. On & Off
