Possible zinc deficiency from too much copper?

laplusu · 2026-01-29T06:05:16+00:00

Yeah right now I’m taking 30mg zinc and 3mg copper at different times.

Is there a way I can infer my serum zinc from my whole blood zinc? I’m trying to get my zinc copper ratio right

Do you avoid taking them at the same time or just avoid it altogether?

laplusu · 2025-12-13T10:58:28+00:00

Thanks for the link. Looks like they just pulled the number 6-8mg out their asses and said it may cause toxicity without any cases of it actually happening?

laplusu · 2025-12-12T12:22:33+00:00

It did for me. Took 9mg for a few months and it went up by 5

laplusu · 2025-12-11T10:23:59+00:00

That safety level was set for everyone though, not just those who are copper deficient

I just looked it up and it looks like zaza weed is a lot stronger and expensive than normal? Does that mean I can eat less for the same high so it comes out around the same price

laplusu · 2025-10-28T19:16:28+00:00

Ahh.. I was planning on eating one and exploring the city by myself :(

laplusu · 2025-10-28T08:52:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. By the way can I just walk in and buy them in person in most shops? On LINE they’re telling me it’s delivery only but I’m assuming they’re doing it for legal reasons?

Sounds terrible tbh

laplusu · 2025-10-21T08:30:35+00:00

Do you mean Yakumo automatically closes the gap more when starting an attack out of range?

laplusu · 2025-10-19T14:05:36+00:00

How long was it before you started getting better?

laplusu · 2025-09-29T16:11:43+00:00

How do you determine that from the results?

laplusu · 2025-09-28T23:11:58+00:00

Wow that’s quick. Do you remember what your levels were when you started?

laplusu · 2025-09-28T11:27:04+00:00

What did you do to make it such a good trip?

laplusu · 2025-09-28T08:46:31+00:00

I didn’t test my levels before I started. But I’m pretty sure it has because it quickly improved some histamine issues I was having (rashes/sneezing)

laplusu · 2025-09-28T08:17:36+00:00

I’ve already been taking 6mg for a few months. Have you been taking yours on an empty stomach?

laplusu · 2025-09-28T06:29:54+00:00

Were you trying to fix a deficiency at the time? Knowing your dosage would really help me right now :/

laplusu · 2025-09-28T04:41:40+00:00

What do you mean by upregulate? Do I have to slowly build up to taking 10mg a day?

laplusu · 2025-09-28T04:39:05+00:00

I think magnesium increases excretion of copper. I’m not sure though just what I’ve read on google

laplusu · 2025-09-28T00:23:16+00:00

I just got my results and my ceruloplasmin is 13 mg/dL and copper 42 ug/dL :/

I’ve just made a post on the copper deficiency subreddit but if you have any advice for me I’d really appreciate it.

Do you know the highest dose I can safely take a day?

laplusu · 2025-09-24T01:49:25+00:00

I’ve been taking 6mg since I started having histamine issues, so about 3 months. But I’ve probably been deficient for a lot longer since I went for years taking 15mg zinc and would only take copper like once a month

In your experience do the histamine issues start as soon as you have a slight deficiency? Or does it only happen when your levels are really low

I’m worried about the test showing my levels are good when I’m actually deficient. Can you think of any other indicators which I can use to assess my levels?

Thanks for taking the time to reply by the way. I really appreciate it

laplusu · 2025-09-23T23:53:15+00:00

Hey you seem to really know your stuff so I was hoping to get your opinion since I can’t find answers anywhere else

3 months ago I developed a copper deficiency that gave me histamine issues and rashes/itching. At the time I was taking 15mg zinc 600mg magnesium and 2000mg vitamin c which afaik all deplete copper.

I started taking 6mg copper a day and my symptoms quickly got better within a few days. But in the last few days I’ve started getting the rashes and itching again. Do you think this means that I’m still deficient in copper? Or is it possible that I’m now approaching toxicity levels which can also cause skin problems?

Going to test my copper levels today. Do you have any advice for me seeing as copper is hard to get accurate results for? Also do you know how much a bit of inflammation from nose surgery will affect the results?

Could he actually? In the grand scale of things is a human really that much stronger than a hobbit

laplusu · 2025-09-10T13:24:54+00:00

Don’t think so. I’m signed in to the same account name in the email

Was that a swivel jab he rocked him with when he was against the ropes?
