Zinc and Copper use in Hypothyroidism

[Guest guest]

I am hypothyroid for last few years and was not stable either with synthroid or

natural thyroid hormones till I started iodoral. I feel much better now but

still not perfect. I came to know that taking zinc with copper will improve

thyroid's performance as well. I am bit skeptical since I came to know the zinc

poisoning through denture cream.

Would you please explain your experience if you are using zinc+copper and what

is your dosage?

Any side effects etc.?

Thank you,

ASU.

I am taking both! Copper is needed while taking Vitamin C in adequate doses for

treating AF, Zinc is needed if it gets too low, like mine is low range.

I take 2 mg Zinc daily

I also take 30 mg Zinc daily

I started out taking 50 mgs of Zinc with 2 mgs of Copper in it. I started at

one pill 2x's / day for the first 4 weeks then just one. At the time it helped

with my Estradiol levels to bring them down.

But I was on a lower dose of Androgel.

This is the brand I used at the time.

Today I get some in my Multi-Vit. and I take ZMA 3 caps at bedtime. And I take

2 mgs of Copper at noon I read that it's better to take Copper at a diff. time

then when you take Zinc Zinc lowers Copper.
