Zinc is a very important mineral that is involved in bone health and is essential for testosterone (https://www.evolutionary.org/testosterone-esters-101) production.

A lot of lifters are deficient in zinc so it's a really good idea to supplement with a good quality multivitamin/mineral that contains zinc.

Make sure that the zinc in the multivitamin contains a zinc amino acid chelate. That is the most absorbable form of supplemental zinc. A zinc oxide is very poorly absorbed and pretty much useless.

You always want to see amino acid chelated minerals in your multivitamin.
