How about taking zinc and vitamin C together? I have also read that vitamin C in largeish doses can lower both zinc and copper. So if you were to take a large amount of zinc and vitamin C would this lower copper? At what dose if so?

From personal experience I actually get sick more often taking zinc and vitamin C - apparently copper is very important for the immune system. I have also noticed this year I have some grey hairs and I am only 30 - apparently copper deficiency can make your hair go grey prematurely. Might be coincidence of course - but I have been supplementing both zinc and vitamin C before I came to the conclusion they weren't doing me that much good - but not in huge quantities - maybe a couple of grams of C and 30mg zinc.

For some people maybe even this amount is too much if copper is low?
