i read that if you take large amounts of zinc,u need to take copper too or ur copper levels would drop, would u recommend getting a lower dose of zinc without copper or just take both zinc and copper?
I am not a doctor, so do your own research or consult a physician or nutritionist, but since you mentioned it I went ahead and looked into it a little bit. Here's an article I found.
Additional studies indicate copper supplementation along with zinc helps balance absorption of both nutrients. Many alternative and integrative practitioners recommend a ratio of 15 mg of zinc to 1 mg of copper – similar to the ratio achieved if you remain within RDA guidelines.
If you look at the FLCCC protocol I posted in this thread, it suggests taking 30-40mg of zinc per day for prophylaxis or 100 mg of zinc per day for early outpatient protocol, so you would want to take ~3mg of copper per day to balance out the zinc intake from prophylaxis or ~7mg/day over the course of early outpatient protocol.

thanks, that makes sense, im taking 50 mg zinc so i should just at 3-4 mg of copper to it so i wont deplete it
so, that's like swallowing a penny a week?
lol, I'm not sure. How much copper is in a penny?
You can still get 100 for a dollar,...so they are cheep!
