Re: hemaplex iron / copper / zinc

[Guest guest]

Dawn, thank you for the good idea on zinc. My Dr. wanted to put me on

cuprimine, but I didn't want to take a " chelating agent " .

I just read up on it, and I see that zinc interferes with the absorption of

copper in the gut. Even if the zinc does not remove the copper already present,

it may slow down further accumulation. Hopefully copper levels should then

gradually decrease.

Thanks again so much for the good idea!

assimilate the iron, I take a weekly shot. My ferritin was 12 and was also told

that my iron was fine! It wasn’t until I got the copy of the

labs that I realized I was so low.  I haven’t been

retested yet but am hopeful. Good luck and don’t give up on the

iron, Beth

you know one thing that came to mind with regard to copper and zinc and thyroid function....it is said i believe that if a person is hyperthyroid you give them copper to slow it down and low zinc...if they are hypo thne it is the reverse..higher zinc and low copper...just fyiSubject: Re: hemaplex iron / copper / zincTo: RT3_T3 Date: Tuesday, August 10, 2010, 5:43 PM
