My hair analysis results. am I fast or slow?

[Yura]

True copper deficiency is rare due to diet low in copper. Maybe you can have high requirement for copper if you are true fast oxidizer who needs a lot of calcium, copper etc.. But most people have simply low ceruloplasmin, liver and other organs full of copper and copper deficiency symptoms at the same time..

I am going to end the copper trial for now, I may try it again later.
For the past three days I took three copper doses of around 0.6 mg

I had great improvements in erecttion quality and premature ejaculation from copper. It feels strong and numb when erect (like its supposed to). In the flaccid state there is small improvements.
Also my anxiety lessened a little bit.

However, something just doesn't feel right, I feel angry, and OCD. I can't get up in the morning easily.
My face looks older, and wrinkles on my forehead are bigger( thats what happens when I drink too much dairy also)

So all of that can't be good. I need to take time and think about this.

That is free copper in the blood.. Just eat like 20g of beef liver a day. Liver has all cofactors for ceruloplasmin- amino acids, B vitamins, Vit A and other minerals.. Ingesting copper pills is a bad idea..

 

[Blugrass]

That makes sense Yura, but I can't stand the taste of beef liver. So I just ordered this, it will be here tomorrow.

not ideal, but better than copper pills for sure..

@Blugrass i wouldn’t just take copper or eat high copper foods without knowing for sure if you need it. It’s no good to eat huge amount of copper, theres no need to do that as copper is everywhere. Very hard to become deficient in. Copper can have bad effects on your health so be careful.

Just eat some dark chocolate, youll get magnesium as well. And its tasty ^^

 

[Yura]

chocolate was the worst food for me.. 99% of people don't need to eat high copper foods. Basically every 2000kcal diet will give you enough of copper like 1-2mg..

If copper supplementation was bad, why do ARL and TEI prescribe them? They are fine short term solutions for copper deficiency and zinc balancing.

Thanks Nina
My Copper is low in Serum, Plasma, Ceruloplasmin, and hair.
Is there any other copper test that I can run to make sure that I need it?

After taking Copper for the last few days, I noticed some improvements that I never had in years. I felt normal in certain areas. but it also came with side effects that are worrying. I feel like copper is key for me, whether it is deficiency or dysregulation I am not sure, but I lean towards deficiency

Usually copper deficiency is from copper being stored in the body thus not being used. Taking in more copper will only make you accumulate more copper overtime. I’m not sure how to fix this though, maybe @Helen can help

But wouldn't hair copper be high if it was being stored in my tissues?

 

[Aleksandr]

Possible because I feel warmer when I take that amino acid supplement. Maybe the sulfur is raising my metabolism.
Not sure how my knee popping and cracking is related to that. Or maybe it's unrelated.

Protein also raises metabolism more than carbs or fat. One of the reasons i avoid supplementing it and just get it from fatty cuts of meat, since the fat slows the metabolism.

I am still debating if I should raise or lower my metabolism. Still unclear to me

I am stopping copper pills today, but I have to say the erections I am getting right now are very frequent and improved. PE is also reduced. I haven't seen this in a while!
Flaccid state is only slightly improved.

I also started inositol today and I think it diminished the negative effects I felt from copper.

But I will stop it for now, I need to do more tests first, maybe a copper rbc test. You guys are right, better be careful.

I am not sure. I just wouldn’t play around with copper

You can have white hair with zero copper and at the same time liver or even brain full of copper.. I have some hair and facial hair transparent(discolored) white, some ginger, some very dark brown or even black. I think this is good example of copper dysregulation where you here and there dump a lot of copper into the blood and other times there is zero copper in the blood.. But trust me. This is not about eating more copper. I was eating beef liver like crazy and everything was even worse.. I know that this is very confusing. Even most doctors have no idea what is going on with this copper metabolism..

Guys,
Sorry I'm not active on here but life is crazy right now.

above you can see my second hair test which I did in mid October. They labeled me a fast 1 this time. But I think they should've labeled me fast even in the first one.

I did take hydrogen water supplement in pill form for about a week between those tests.

Nothing changed in my symptoms except I now have kidney stones

 

[tanedout]

Sodium and potassium look crazy high, have you been supplementing with those things?

The copper dose does look high on that, but so long as you keep all the ratio's correct, why not start to follow at lower doses, and slowly work up? In theory that would just balance you slower, but still move things in the right direction.
