Re: How do you find copper supplementation tablets??

[Guest guest]

Hey Bud, any health food store should carry copper. all I did was walk in and

ask and they had plenty. Believe I got 3 mg tablets. I don't think more

mainstream places like wal-mart and rite aid carry it. And I believe for every

50 mg's of Zinc you should balance it with 3 mg's of copper. But I can't say 4

sure....

to restore that loss.

don't find copper alone.  Just one product combining " Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc

the copper (1mg). To get the 3mg I find I need--RDA's are often too low--I'd

need to take three times the RDA for these other minerals!!!!

I don't buy from them stores there 3x's the cost of getting them off the web.

For every 50 mgs of Zinc you need to add in 2 mgs of Copper and it's best not to

take them at the same time. I use ZMA for my Zinc it's the best out there I

take this at bedtime and the Copper at noon.
