Hi what can i do to restore my copper zinc levels i was taking too much zinc and it threw my copper out of whack causing hair thinning, please help.

How do: you know your copper a/o zinc levels were abnormal in the first place? It's very unlikely unless you have end-stage cancer or kidney disease. Then how do you know it caused your hair to thin? Please don't get your medical information from friends, tv, chiropractors or internet scams. See a real doctor if you have concerns.
