Vitamin - Copper

Can we get too much Copper?  I have been researching this supplement.  It is what makes a difference for our skin & hair.  I was wondering, if I should take an additional supplement in addition to my multi to get in more. 

Any ideas/suggestions?

It's rare for people to be copper deficient and copper is toxic if you get too much.

I was taking 2mg of copper a day up until I dropped for some reason. My dietitian had me double the dose and take it away from my other vitamins and minerals. It's up to mid range now. If you do supplement extra zinc and copper, make sure they are away from each other. I hadn't heard that copper helped with skin and hair, but I heard about zinc.

I think I take copper and zinc together.  I'll have to change one to the am and one to the pm ???  I've always taken both.  The learning never ends.  Thanks!!

By everything I've read the past few days, it's best taken close to bedtime.  I will have to look but I think it said Calcium is ok to be taken with but not other Vits/Mins.

I had some thinning skin on the back of my knees so I have been on a search as to "why".  It has to do with a copper imbalance of some sort.  Once I get is all figured out, I will let you all know.

Vitalady prepackaged vites come with iron and copper together.  I take iron and copper together at bedtime.
