Zinc-Vitamin C-Copper-Iron connetion

[Guest guest]

Did you all know that if you take too much Zinc and Vitamin C over time, it can lead to a loss of Copper, which again can result in bad absorption or iron, and iron loss?

I learned this yesterday after getting my hair mineral analysis results. I was told to stop taking Zinc, max 500 mg Vitamin C daily, and NOT take big doses of iron - If I only take some copper instead, I would see my Ferritin rise quickly.I have both taken "biggish" doses of Zinc (60 mg) and Vitamin C (up to 4000 mg) daily. As well as 150 mg iron daily. Maybe copper is all I need. . . . .Not sure what do think yet, but, it makes sense after reading some online about this.
