Another study [2] that supports zinc’s benefits involved 57 high level football players. After supplementing zinc for a period of 8 weeks, both the testosterone levels and the muscle mass of the subjects greatly improved.
In terms of the other benefits, a Japanese study in 2009 [3] showed that the wide range of nutrients packed into Oyster extract can help improve mood, liver function, depression, immunity and even IQ.
