What sort of test? serum copper and serum zinc We have been supplementing with zinc picolinate---up to 60 mg a day at one point. How much does your child weigh? I have read that you give 1 mg per pound, plus another 20 mg. he weighs around 70 pounds--so would it be safe to go up to90 mg? What are signs of too much zinc? Some kids won't normalize their copper/zinc ratio until you add a little *copper*. Makes no sense, but I know at least two people who have done that and it worked. would I do that in a supplement? Now that I have started the enzymes, will it be likely that the zinc will be better absorbed? Yes. Dana Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
