Zinc for natural Prostate health

Zinc
It is been noted that there is a substantial amount of zinc found in prostate secretions. For this reason it has been suggested that zinc may play a role in normal prostate function.
One human study reported a normalization of prostate size in 74% of cases of BPH with the use of a hundred 150 mg of zinc for two months.
This was repeated in an animal study using smaller doses of zinc in an injectable format.
Large zinc doses affect copper levels in the body so most practitioners suggest taking 2 to 3 mg of copper along with zinc.
