Is it OK to combine copper with other vites?

I used to take it with my iron and vit C but I'm holding off taking iron for a couple of weeks until I get some blood work done (I'm hoping to get infusions).  TIA.

I've taken my copper now for 4 years with other vites, just not with zinc. And labs are perfectly okay. Copper and Zinc are in good range.

I take my copper and zinc on separate days, in other words, every other day.  Helps with absorption.

Interesting but I don't think I can afford to do that as my zinc was a little low.  I take 200mg/day - I'll have to make do with just spearating zinc from copper by a few hours.

I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear.  The idea is to double the amount and take it every other day.  So for you it would be 400 mg every other day.  That's actually the amount I take also.  I split it into two doses during that day.  Some others on this board do this also.

Cool.  My only concern is what's the maximum dose of zinc to take in one go.  I may post it in another thready at some point.  Thanks.
