Zinc to prevent stretch marks.
In 1987 when I first started juicing I read an article about stretch marks. I would rather have skinny arms than big muscles with stretch marks. The article was by a BB obstetrician who wondered why no research was done on stretch marks. He found no one cared because "only BB and pregnant women get them". So he started researching and found that zinc could prevent them. He started putting his patients on 30-50mg of zinc (picolinate, I think) a day and NONE of them got stretch marks!
So I started taking 30mg of zinc and as I went from 145lbs to up to 220lbs and I have NO visible stretch marks. I am sure plenty of this is genetics but anything that might help is welcomed.

A regular Centrum multivitamin @ 2 pills a day = 30mg zinc.
When I was a kid I had a whole shelf full of vitamins and a multi. Including garlic, Cayenne, milk thistle, and so much more. I do believe it all makes a difference. How ever, anymore I just take a multi only.

Studies have shown it does help level it out. Only one way to find out for yourself though Kenny my friend. Go get a couple of bottles and see how u do.
Btw I take every single day. Never have estrogen problems and typically only use nolva EOD or ED on a heavy cycle. Everyone is different this is just my experience. Gettin the right amount of zinc in has more benefits than just helping with estro IMO.
Good luck dude!

ZMA gives me amazing sleep but Tren-like dreams. I cannot take it while running tren, so I'm screwed half the year. Lmao. Good mineral though
