If you're using good amounts of zinc over long periods of time, definitely supplement with copper.
High doses will deplete copper. I learned this the hard way.
Many using high doses of zinc to treat pyroluria must watch copper and prevent it from getting too low.
Supplementation of 1-3mg/day of copper is ideal to prevent copper deficiency due to usage of zinc supplements. The amount of copper to use depends on how much zinc you're using.
