looking for some advice.

pretty sure after doing some reading that i am copper toxic.. i am currently taking opti zinc (30mg, copper 300mcg) with magnesium. feeling better on both and now need advice on what to add in order to help things along even more.

so, should i try zinc piccolante (instead of opti zinc)? with magnesium... and then add histidine and/or cysteine?

should i be taking magnesium and potassium chlorides with zinc instead of citrates?

have ordered HCL

after reading old threads from naked scientist and zinc finger thread here and then protocol for improved health i am feeling a bit confused as to what route to go down and how to go about it.

should i follow tubzys regime on guide for improved health with zinc?

any ideas as to what i should do?

 

[heygate]

oh yeh have also read Zinc, vitc, b6, and magnesium is a good course .... how does this compare to above ?

 

[heygate]

also was tested a few years ago and was told i am zinc deficient...so i know for sure zinc is my problem

 

[heygate]

zinc magnesium histidine
zinc magnesium cysteine
zinc magnesium histidine and cysteine

zinc, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, betaine HCL, biozyme, platinum EAA

zinc magnesium b6 vit c

any of the above look good? do i need any copper to balance?

 

[TubZy]

Hey man, yes try this protocol, it was originally introduced for POIS mainly actually

Electrolyte Protocol for Improved Health

 

[heygate]

cheers man, so just to confirm, should i order the following -

zinc, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, betaine HCL, biozyme, platinum EAA

?

 

[heygate]

@TubZy based on your regime but with zinc

 

[TubZy]

I would start with just aminos and high protein (whey/egg whites), betaine HCL, potassium and magnesium chloride, enzymes....other stuff you can add in later

 

[heygate]

cool, cheers man, will get on it

 

[heygate]

How much protein you taking?

 

[TubZy]

every meal whey protein shake, on top of the food I eat unless I eat egg whites. Prob around ~150-200 grams a day

 

[heygate]

cool, thats good, dont do well on eggs, where did you source your magnesium chloride?

 

[heygate]

Alta Health, Magnesium Chloride, 100 Tablets

this ok?

 

[TubZy]

Alta Health, Magnesium Chloride, 100 Tablets

this ok?

Sources are in this thread TubZy Log

That is fine, whey works and just eat high protein foods for the aminos

 

[TubZy]

Alta Health, Magnesium Chloride, 100 Tablets

this ok?

Yes that is fine

 

[heygate]

Thanks TubZy

@heygate for a little bit of relief from symptoms you could try some herbs recommended in CD's protocol, while you wait for arl.

What are your symptoms?
