now i’ve definitely done a lot of videos on zinc  and the importance of zinc for your immune system  

for ulcers for increasing testosterone but one  of the problems that occurs when you’re taking  

too much zinc over a longer period of time let’s  say you’re taking over 40 milligrams which isn’t  

a significant amount but it’s like four times more  than the recommended amount over a period of weeks  

could potentially create a copper deficiency  so i just want to bring this to your attention  

if you start experiencing certain symptoms  then you kind of know what might be happening  

because zinc and copper work together in fact they  compete for absorption in the small intestine so  

if there’s too much zinc to copper or just zinc  you’re not going to get the copper you can create  

a copper deficiency so it’s always good when  you’re taking zinc to also take copper and i just  

recommend taking all the trace minerals together  with zinc i’ll put a link down below of what  

i recommend on that but let’s go ahead and talk  about the symptoms that can occur when you have a  

copper deficiency by taking too much zinc number  one nausea okay so if you start feeling nauseous  

after taking a lot of zinc then you know what’s  happening number two flu-like symptoms because  

one of the things that occurs with a copper  deficiency is something called lutropenia which  

is a lord amount of white blood cells all right  number three anemia so you’re gonna feel weak  

and tired number four stomach pain number five  tingling and numbness in your hands or feet number  

six diarrhea number seven a loss of skin tone  because copper is necessary for collagen so if you  

start noticing that your skin starts looking loose  that could be why number eight vomiting so those  

are all the symptoms of a copper deficiency just  to bring your awareness up of a potential problem  

when you take too much zinc thanks for watching  hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of
