A member asked:
I am trying to find a culprit to my hair loss i was supplementing with zinc and i was exceeding the amount now i have hair thinning, is it low copper?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: More than 50 mg of zinc can lead to copper deficiency. Too much of a good thing is no longer good.
