Supplementing copper

[Deleted member 25748]

"Zinc reduces the amount of copper your body absorbs, and high doses of zinc can cause a copper deficiency. For that reason, many doctors recommend that you take 2 mg of copper along with a zinc supplement. Some studies suggest that taking oral zinc supplements may help improve acne." I take 1 tablet of 50 mg zinc gluconate daily, how much copper should I take with it, if at all?

you shouldnt take 50mg of zinc, take 20mg at most.

50mg of zinc gluconate only has 7 mg of elemental zinc though
