In my 20s as a female, I was usually anemic. My doctor prescribed iron. Did not do much good. Early thirties read that Vitamins E and C would be good for my varicose veins issue that was developing. The bad veins went away and the anemia went away. Book said with deficiency red blood cells might just live 85 days, with the Vitamin E for 115 days. Now 50 years later I still take those 2 vitamins and a lot of other supplements. Health and strength good for my age.

Are you giving the zinc figures for elemental zinc or for zinc compounds like zinc oxide or zinc picolinate. I take 50 mg. zinc oxide with 500 mg. Quercetin for daily Covid prevention. I think that is about 20 mg. of elemental zinc.

I am giving the zinc elemental amounts.

Makes sense on a basic level, copper is a great conductor of energy and hence, information.... Better wiring means better cognizance. Just my $.02.
