Zinc can be beneficial for many different health problems. But, if you take too much zinc (over 40mg) over a period of weeks, this could create a copper deficiency.
Zinc and copper work together. So, it’s always good to take copper when you’re taking zinc to avoid a copper deficiency. You could also take all of the trace minerals together with zinc.
Symptoms of a copper deficiency:
1. Nausea
2. Flu-like symptoms (this is due to neutropenia, which is lowered white blood cells)
