Hi, Chirley.
Just wanted to let you know there's another one out here with low copper numbers. Bruce's are slightly depressed (at 61), his zinc was just a little bit above normal. Bruce has started taking a 3 mg supplement of chelated copper, but no added zinc except what's in his multi-vitamin.
Today he had a bunch of blood work to see if we can get a better handle on what's going on with the proteins & other minerals that are necessary for copper absorption.
