    You're 20. You probably don't need to supplement your test.

    I would be more concerned with the side effects of increasing your testosterone--shrinking testicles, acne, breast growth, problems urinating, increased blood glucose (possibly requiring insulin administration), hypertension, liver cancer....do you really want to risk these things?

    You dont need to take supplements unless your blood labs show a specific deficit. Try to eat a varied diet that includes all colors of food and have a blood lab performed on a regular basis.

    Blindly taking supplements is often detrimental to your health. (and some can give you a useless appendage.)

    Link to Mayo Clinic on Zinc. (dont take it without the doctor's input)
