I wish I could answer your question, but I recently had a hair and mineral test done. My zinc levels were very low and I had extremely high levels of copper in on my hair test.

My taurine levels (which regulate neurotransmitters from what I understand) were also way down along with molybdenum.

Both Taurine and molybdenum help rid the body of copper. My doctor gave me a supplement called Zinc Supreme from designsforhealth.com. It contains Zinc, Taurine, B6 and Molybdenum to all help lower copper levels while boosting my Zinc, Taurine and Molybdenum levels which I need.

The doctor said my extreme levels of copper could be the reason for both my depression and sensitivity to normal antidepressants. Apparently excessive copper can cause depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue and a few other symptoms I forget. I seem to have all of the above so I am interested to see what happens over the next few months when I get these mineral levels in check. Good luck Linkadge!
