What could cause that my zinc and copper levels stay low now matter how much of it I’m getting?

[Motif]

High zinc and copper clearly takes my dermatitis itching to 70+ % away not an hour after taking it, but it only lasts a few hours.

no matter how much zinc and copper I eat or supplement - my levels in my next blood test will be low again.

What could cause this? It’s driving me crazy.

Diarrhea? Malabsorption? Chronic Steath Infection?

Diarrhea? Malabsorption? Chronic Steath Infection?

How would an infection be diagnosed? I got all kinds of tests done.

no diarrhea.

Malabsorption might be it, but are there tests that could tell if that’s my issue? And what could be done?
could I get intravenous zinc and copper or wouldn’t that make a difference ?

and why only zinc and copper ?

Iron overload maybe.

make sure you research the best test, i cant remember but not all "iron"tests are the same. I think Morley Robbinson or Matt Blackburn would be good sources to get an idea.

How are your other minerals? Ca, Mg, Na, Cl, P etc?

What kind of soap do you use? Unscented Castile soap is just amazing.

Everything else was always fine

Still remaining. It’s crazy. Tried no zinc for a month and only high copper. Nothing. But my hair loss is worse again.

My copper didn’t rise I know since yesterday but did not test zinc. Guess not taking zinc was not a good idea
