Re: Adding supplements to my nutrition database recording

[Guest guest]

Hi All, Try reading, Arturo, the below sites listing much about the correct amounts and proportions of micronutrients to consume. I also do not understand getting more than 100% of all macronutrients without eating 100% of your calories. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/contentnuts.html http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/copper/index.htmlArturo Veve <volae@...> wrote: AllI had a litte extra time today and entered my supplements to my typical meal's day in Cron-O-Meter.

Does anyone know if there is any danger in oversupplementation of copper?

Hi Arturo:

Yes. Pretty much all the essential metals that are required in the

diet are also dangerous in excessive amounts. This certainly

includes copper, zinc, calcium, iron, selenium, and sodium. Possibly

others also?

Even a couple of vitamins are dangerous in excess as well. And

calories too of course, and fats of certain types, possibly one or

more amino acids.

No doubt it is easier to get dangerously large amounts of some

nutrients than it is of others. And I find some days I am deficient

in one or a number of them, but more than make up for that on other

days - vitamins B12, A and K are classic examples of this. So

ideally a one month survey of your intake would be best. And a one

week survey much better than one day.

Rodney.

It seems my dietary intake of copper is very high at 600% of the RDA.

That may be from high nut consumption. Does anyone know if there is

any danger in oversupplementation of copper? I'm vegetarian, so I

feel supplementation is important for my nutrition.
