How do you find copper supplementation tablets??

[Guest guest]

I have read more than once that anyone taking zinc supplements--which I think

may help with insulin sensitivity, and prostate problems--will experience a

reduction in copper levels. So you need to take a copper supplement (say 3 mg)

to restore that loss.

I've looked in Rite-Aid, Wal-Mart and one or two other chain pharmacies, but

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

and Copper. "  But it gave 100% RDA of the other minerals, while only 50% RDA of

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!!!!

My multivit/mineral pill also already gives me 100% RDA of zinc but only 35% of

copper.

Does anyone know a chain that stocks plain(?) copper tablets--or how else are

people dealing with this need?

Thanks,
