Methodology
Controlled trial of zinc supplementation in oligospermic men measuring testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and prolactin.
Key Findings

Conclusions
Zinc influences androgen status more than prolactin regulation.
Limitations
Small, dated trial; inconsistent prolactin reporting.
Supplements Studied

Outcomes Measured
