Hi all. Well I am taking a supplement of 22 mg of zinc a day.. My prenatal vitamins do not contain any zinc or copper. I have heard that with continued doses of high zinc that you can get copper deficiency. I dont really think I am taking a high dose of zinc but it is higher than what you get in most vitamins.. Do you all think that there is a risk of copper deficiency with this amount of zinc? I definitely want to keep taking the zinc because its about the only thing that keeps me from getting a ton of colds.. I really appreciate any info on this. Thanks!!
