Zinc w/Copper

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had a skin reaction to zinc w/copper? I'm taking 50mg zinc

with 2mg of copper once a day to help control estrogen converstion. I

seem to be getting itchy skin and small hives welts.I'm only taking the

supplement every other day now because of the reaction.I am also on T-

Cyp injections 200mg every 10 to 14 days.And I did'nt feel I was

getting the full benefit of the HRT because of possible E2 conversion.I

also ordered Indoplex with DIM as a possible substitute for the Zinc.

I take Solaray brand Zinc/Copper pills once in a while. I do notice my

skin is more sensitive to dirt/dust or something now-a-days. It only

takes a few minutes sitting at a wooden table at a coffe shop to start

my rashes wherever my skin contacts the surface. Or, wherever my

fingers touch the table and then some open skin. The rashes dissipate

as soon as I leave. At work I use wood oil to wipe my desk every

night before I leave work and then dry wipe the table again in the

morning. I also oil the wood counter tops that I lean against a lot

at my employees' cubes. They thought I am a neat freak. But I am

not...

That said. I haven't determined that the hyper sensitivity is due to

Zinc/Copper yet because I don't take that very often. Could it be the

effects of increased T or Estrogen?

I do noticed that if I take the supplement before bed, I will have an

erection without much help in a few minutes. If I also workout

intensively during the day, the effect is more pronounced. The

stiffer erection could be in the middle of the night or upon waking up.

That is not how it worked for me I had itchy skin and borke out in hives adding

Zinc/Copper helped it the itching stopped and I did not get hives anymore. Yet

is did not last for more then a month. I started on Indolplex/DIM to get my E2

down and a lot of problems went away. Your doing shots 200 mgs. every 10 to 14

days is driving up your E2 and putting you on a roller coaster ride. Try doing

100 mgs. every week. Have you had your E2 tested.
