    Oysters, toasted wheat germ, liver, sesame seeds and tahini (Sesame Butter), low fat roast beef, roasted pumpkin and squash seeds, dried watermelon seeds, dark chocolate and cocoa powder, lamb (mutton) and peanuts are good sources of zinc, amongst many others.

    If you are eating a normal healthy diet, you will not need extra zinc in your diet, unless recommended to you by your doctor for some deficiency.

    Are you perhaps enquiring as to 'men's health' because of the supposed increase in sperm and semen production?

    Hello :)

    Not sure about men's health specifically, but I did read somewhere about Zinc being a potential cure for the common cold..

    *rifles through internet history*

    ....

    *continues to rifle*

    Found it! http://www.thelifedept.co.uk/livelonger/better-treatment/zinc-cure-for-the-common-cold/

    Anyway, very exciting news hahaha, but Vitamin E is supposed to be quite good for men's health- something to do with prostate stuff I think :)
