I am pretty sure I am copper deficient.
Why?
Whenever I take zinc, I get tendonitis.
I recently had copper and zinc levels tested, and both were at the bottom of accepted range. I tested again and copper was slightly higher.
I began taking 2.5mg copper a day and 1/2 of a 15mg zinc picolinate every other day, and retested after a couple weeks.
Copper had gone down and zinc had grown.
I stopped zinc and continued taking 2.5 mg copper per day.
