So once an inadequate diet depletes testosterone, fixing the diet wont make it come back? I just think in an average, healthy person with a healthy diet that ZMA wont make much of a difference on testosterone. I think in a possibly less smart or serious athlete with a poor diet, that ZMA essentially boosts their testosterone. If zinc is required for testosterone, and you add zinc that the person previously never had. It would be similar to a vegetarian with a bad liver going on a high cholesterol diet.

I know it sounds right on paper, just not sure it pans out like that in the real world, know what I mean? It'd have to be something I'd have to research. Perhaps my initial wariness is for the terminology "boost testosterone", because it alludes to certain things. Also, I don't think it does it to a significant degree that it'd bring back test levels that were badly depleted.
Then there's the issue that it's not always faulty diet as causation. The study I read about zinc maintaining test levels, the reason for depletion thereof was the strenuous activity itself, not a lack of nutrients specifically. Rigorous athletics deplete test levels to some degree. The subjects were 19 year-old Wrestlers.
