Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Phil & Threefingers, Thanks on the copper.  We haven't had a real all-vitamin/etc store here till recently, so I wasn't in the habit of thinking of the new Vitamin Shoppe we now have. They'll likely have it, but also, as you say, be pricey. Yeah, 2-3 mg with 50 of ZInc is what I've read, too--but didn't now about separating the two tabs, as you suggest, Phil, Thanks,____________________________________________________________________\ _______ > From: Spence D <spencesdd (DOT) com> > Subject: Re: Newbie to the group > > Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 10:36 PM > The word Testopel sounds > familiar.... ..My urologist didn't tell me what strength the > pellets are, but his staff has informed me that he will be > inserting a dozen of them. So, my " homework " is to > have another discussion with the doctor before this > procedure to find out what's going in me.... > > Thank you all for the information, some of which was way > over my head because I don't know what all the medical terms > are. This is going to be an expensive venture.. > $850 up front, so I'm keeping the fingers crossed that this > will work. > > > > > > Hey Spence, > > > > Welcome.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 If Zinc lowers Copper why take them both at the same time.
