CS: about copper sebacate...

CS... I´ve just order Source Naturals Copper Sebacate, for trying to get rid of a white hair patch in my nape, and for other health benefits...

But my question is: isn´t 22 mg too much copper? Should I take it daily? Every other day?

I was wondering why brands like Nutricology or ARG (Allergy Research Group) offer dosages of "only" 4mg  

Thanks in advance for your time to reply!

It is 22 mg of copper bound to sebacic acid. It yields 3 mg of copper (is on the label).

I second CF

Thanks a lot, people, for clarifying this! :-)

CS, I have a question, as well.

I've been using the Nutricology copper sebacate. I had some on hand from a while back.

Is there a big reason I should use Source Naturals rather than Nutricology, or is it just a personal preference of yours? I'll get the Source Naturals if it's truly best but do like Nutricology products in general.

Thanks!

whodathunkit - Not a major difference, but I think Source Naturals in this case is slightly better value. Nutricology is 4 mg elemental, while SN is 3 mg elemental. I realize it says 22 mg, but that includes the sebacate.

Thanks, CS. I wondered about the 4mg dosage with Nutricology...seems like 3mg would be an easier dose to try to balance your daily copper:zinc ratio with. I'm going to give SN a try when I run out of the Nutricology.

By the way, CS, how much l-optizinc would you consume a day? I feel OK on 30mg/day (great libido, morning woods), but maybe double that is recommended? I weight about 95kg...

Thanks!

Long term, 15 mg is a good, and reliable recommendation. 30 mg is okay, however would consider switching to 15 mg after a year or two.
