zinc/Andy (please)

[Guest guest]

Is this true? I found this on http://www.autismmanagement.com/faq.htm#faq4

<http://www.autismmanagement.com/faq.htm#faq4> . I have just started

giving Jenna zinc this week (10 mg) in addition to the 10 mg she gets in the

SuperNu Thera. She tested low in zinc and has yeast symptoms.

" Specific metals which are in deficiency should be replaced, but the use of

complex mixtures of metals can often be self defeating. For example, Zinc

mixed with Copper and Iron gives a competitive mixture for absorption in the

gut. The actual absorption of any one of these will be at best erratic, and

result in wastage due to non absorption. Many high street preparations

contain this mixture. There has to be a safety aspect to this; Zinc given

incorrectly can lead to Copper or Iron deficiency, the symptoms of which are

unpleasant and can be puzzling to investigating physicians who are unaware

of dietary supplementation. "

This isn't relevant to anything you need to do.
