That's why I suggested 50 mg tablets several times a week, then you get high zinc 2 days and low zinc 5 days a week, probably enabling
better copper absorption.
Fifty milligrams of zinc given over ten weeks impaired both iron and
copper absorption in one study.
On the flip side, consuming more than 50 mg of zinc can
limit copper absorption, so you need to make sure that your copper and zinc intake are balanced.
(Iron, or Fe SHUTS DOWN Copper metabolism) More on Iron Toxicity... STOP Ascorbic Acid (Ascorbic Acid disrupts the Copper < > Cp bond) STOP High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) & Synthetic Sugars (HFCS Lowers Liver Copper & Raises Liver Iron) STOP LOW Fat Diet (Saturated Fat is needed for
proper Copper absorption) STOP Using Industrialized, «Heart Healthy» Omega - 6 Oils!
1 mg of Copper Bisglycinate Chelate is added to Zinc Select ® to help maintain proper
intestinal copper absorption and to support healthy mineral balance.
START Taurine (500 — 1,000 mg / day) Supports liver copper metabolism START Ancestral Diet (HIGH Fat & Protein / LOW Carb) Good for
Copper absorption START Iodine (PREREQUISITE: Mg RBC & Se RBC need to be optimal) Until then, add Iodine rich foods like kelp, seaweeds, scallops, cod, eggs, cranberries, etc. to the diet.
Menke's syndrome, which is an inborn error of metabolism and
copper absorption utilization, can result in severe myelin deficits and neuronal death in infants.
They may also decrease phosphorus, iron, zinc and
copper absorption and may cause crusty and scaly skin.
