A member asked:
Hi how long does it take to restore copper levels after they have been depleted from zinc ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Months: You should get a doc who manages metabolic issues. The treatment is to give zinc supplements but giving too large amounts can cause serious side effects.In this case more is not better. Other factors taken in account when deciding how much to give is how severe the deficiency is, your overall health and other medication.
