Do you eat nuts or seeds? Dry or roasted?

[ReSTART]

I was thinking of eating some cashews for copper, don’t know if dry or roasted

Raw macadamia nuts. Maybe an ounce every other day.

I like oyster and liver for cooper but every now and then I’ll have some peanut butter, although rare

what copper sources did you end up with ?

None, copper has lower RDI, it's easier to meet requirements for copper than zinc, so I really need to find better zinc sources.

Right!

Just supplement the zinc. Unlike copper (Copper(III)-Copper(I) difference), it doesn't matter whether it's synthetic or not.

I wouldn't advise on supplementing zinc. Seriously, it's not hard hitting a zinc RDA

Yeah, Just tell them to him then.

so copper from natural sources are the only good copper?

does copper gluconate or chelate make sense to get levels up for a few weeks?

good copper sources besides liver and oysters?

Honestly I don't know. I heard somewhere that it's toxic because it gets absorbed so quickly that the body cannot convert it to the proper form. But you must research it yourself.

Cacao and potatoes.

The problem with supplementing zinc is most of them have way too high doses, if you can't get enough through diet for whatever reason, a normal dose supplement is fine of course.

What do you think would be to high ?

 

[lampofred]

RP recommended white button mushrooms and oyster mushrooms to me for copper.

Is copper from cashews absorbed because of the anti nutrients ?
