Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 GNC sells a 2mg copper supplement. But be sure to take it after a meal.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 We must have adequate cooper to absorb iron. Zinc/vit-C lowers copper. So we must take copper supps!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 This is why I was worried about changing vitamins to one that didn't have copper. I take 50mg Zinc and 3g vit-C a day plus already have low iron. Take iron pills now. I found this stuff and it looks like the same copper that the Cranton's have. Plus it is BOGO right now. http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWU468/ItemDetail?n=0 ________________________________ From: <gibcast@...> " " < > Sent: Fri, July 9, 2010 10:58:34 AM Subject: Re: Re: Copper We must have adequate cooper to absorb iron.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 What goes on with multi vitamins the that have everything in? I was on one from the doctor called Forceval, I know that v-c is needed for iron absorption and I also know that folate is required for the uptake of B12 so don't these multi's work?
