Calcium for erections

You can overdose on zinc, calcium and even magnesium.

You can even overdose on water.

Don’t know about erections but hope its true. Calcium also helps in weight loss. I’m usually good for 3 cheese sticks and 2 milk protein shakes with yogurt a day in addition to putting it in my coffee.

Think what he is saying is if you are working out and cumming a lot the chances of overdosing on zinc at the doses we’re talking about are very low cause you are using it up a lot.

If he had qualified it in that way, I would not have commented. Making the blanket statement that “Regarding overdosing, you really don’t need to worry about it” without regard to dosage is quite another. In fact, the case cited in the second link was the classic “if a little is good, a lot is better” approach leading to overdose. Form that article: “However, when the teen saw no quick improvement in his skin he decided to up the dosage from 50 milligrams (mg) per day to 300 mg per day.” I’d hate to see anyone here make that same mistake.

I take zinc. I think it’s a good idea. Those considering supplementing with it, though, should be aware that there are limits.

Lampwick, dong and I commented regarding dosage in an earlier post in this thread. Most zinc supplements are 50mg, which is 333% of the DRV, and there is no way he is going to overdose taking 50mg a day. Sorry if my last post came off as confusing.

No problem; I just thought it was a point worth clarifying.

I read the entire thread, and if everybody did the same, there’d be no problem. That one post in isolation could be misconstrued.

As I said, I take zinc - actually, the calcium, magnesium, zinc combo and some vitamin D, so I think it’s a good idea.

I recently experienced that calcium helped my weak erection issue over more than a year. I started taking calcium element 1gm/day and in just two days my erection response and stiffness has improved dramatically. I have calcium magnesium deficiency according to my hair mineral tests.

Didn’t ZMA use to to mean Zinc, Magnesium, Aspirin in the old body-building days. Just asking, memory glitches.

I cannot recommend dairy products, especially milk for calcium, though the debate of animal products and human health is ancient. I eat small amounts of meat, but it doesn’t change the FACT that my body was not designed to process it, it has simply adapted and does what it can. I choose to because I enjoy the taste in moderation.
However all that being said;
If you have access to them, egg-shells, boiled and ground up in a steel bladed coffee mill, dosed at one teaspoon per day is an excellent source of calcium and often recommended for bones and especially teeth.
I have friends that keep their eggshells for me, but I have been collecting some myself. I have been waiting to chart the progress of maca and aakg (going very well so far 2 weeks in) before adding more supplements to my own diet so right now I cannot speak to using eggshells from personal experience. But google it.

Mentioning spirulina reminds me of the power too of himalayan salt. Such a small change in diet from processed and nearly always synthetic sodium to Pink salt can show massive changes in the fuction of the body.
It is chock full of macrominerals, minerals and even elements. Heres the short list of pink salt composition;
actinium, aluminum, antimony, arsenic, astatine, barium, beryllium, bismuth, boron, bromine, cadmium, calcium, carbon, cerium, cesium, chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, dysprosium, erbium, europium, fluorine, francium, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, gold, hafnium, holmium, hydrogen, indium, iodine, iridium, iron, lanthanum, lead, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, neodymium, neptunium, nickel, niobium, nitrogen, osmium, oxygen, palladium, phosphorus, platinum, plutonium, polonium, potassium, praseodymium, protactinium, radium, rhenium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, selenium, silicon, silver, sodium, strontium, sulfur, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, thallium, thorium, thulium, tin, titanium, uranium, vanadium, wolfram, yttrium, ytterbium, zinc and zirconium.

I might try out that schiff, thank you for suggesting it, my holland and barrets hair and vitamins supps has severely declined in quality over the last 5 years and nails still chip out like mad during manual labour around the house. And hair definitely isn’t getting any longer.

I’m skeptical that calcium would help significantly in weight loss. Even minor stimulants only have marginal effects. It still comes down to mostly diet and excercise.
