You remind me of my college professors. You had to take notes very fast while getting information. I learned better that way because my brain was actively engaged visually, auditory and manually. 😊

Copper deficiency more common in Indian children (due to poor diet) and copper toxicity more common among Western (foreign) populace (due to more chemicals)...

You're doing a great job on this tutorial but you need to break down each topic to fully clear up the explanations of each item. Otherwise ppl will go to other places to get a clearer explanation! Thank you for sharing.

I have low copper. 64 ng. low for lab used is 70 or less. Optimal in middle is 122.5 Taking 25 mg zinc and 2 mg copper amino acid chelate then added 2 mg copper biglycinate. Now adding extra 4 mg of copper glycinate for a total of 6 mg copper and 25 mg zinc taken appart from each other for better absorption. BEEN TO 7 DOCTORS and only 1 addressed it and now the doctor has left. Very upset.

Is there a risk of absorbing more than the daily needs in copper?

[Vivldi]

As a vegan with hypothyroitism I dont eat organs and I cant eat much leafy greens (inhibit thyroid hormone to work), so I guess I should take copper

[danielsimany]

please make a magnesium video for future students!

Is it okay as a vegan to take 2mg of copper to 25mg of zinc daily? I am from Germany and my doctor does not test my levels he does not believ in supplements. But the zinc supplementation helped me a lot and I read in many sources that zinc supplementation depletes the copper storages, so I want to take 2g of copper.
