How does an excess of calcium inhibit zinc? And would I be correct in

I don't know for sure how it works, but some minerals can enter into

cells more easily than others. Keeping it all in balance is tricky

when you start suppementing with minerals. Mama Nature gives them to

us in abundance, if the soil and water are rich. I don't know what

proof there is of what a human being would need in the way of

minerals to be optimally healthy. Price said the native people he

studied had 4 times the minerals in their diet compared to the 1930

SAD diet of American's.

If you go to a search engine and type in " zinc uptake " you will find

current studies being done with zinc uptake. Perhaps someone else

will be able to answer your question about the blocking of zinc and

copper. Sorry I don't know more about it. We will have to learn

together. If I find out more, I will tell you.
