Gbolduev at some point recommend taking Magnesium, Potassium and Copper for a fast metaboliser. When I combine these three supplements the solutions blue. Any idea why this is happening and whether this is undesirable? The mix is 2mg Copper (Glycinate), 2000mg Potassium (Bicarbonate) and 400mg Magnesium (Chloride)

Thanks!

Wait, are we supposed to blend supplements/minerals up? It can be done... I wonder. That would make zinc finger way easier. Copper pentahydrate is blue isn't it?

the solutions blue
Color of copper!
My father being a chemist, and having done much funny experiences at home... you cannot mix freely! I guess you have a bit changed the formula...

Likely you have made copper chloride which is toxic! so do not mix or you will get sick. Take separately away from each other.

I would not want copper sulfate either....

Really, no mix with chemicals!

My copper glycinate bottle bottle has a white lid, and after having used the lid for measuring a few times, it has tinged it with blue. And when I google 'Copper Glycinate Blue' it comes up with a few websites suggesting it is a blue colour. For example Copper Glycinate (copper Amino Acid Chelate)

I am happy to take the minerals separately but I thought @gbolduev said not to take copper by itself, and that these supplements were to be taken together?

Thanks everyone for your input!
