A member asked:
How can i restore copper and iron levels if supplemental zinc lowered them ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eat sensibly: I hope this adventure cures you from believing internet disinformation about supplements. I understand the copper -- zinc fans can get really sick from this -- but your physician might look for a reason you're iron deficient. Even at your age, we wouldn't want to miss blood loss from, say, a stomach ulcer.
