Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me out or let me know their thoughts.
Basically:
Im male 17,
I took lots of zinc 30-50mg a day when I was 15 for 2 years for "T boost", not knowing what i was doing and whilst doing Keto and overtraining.
It caused anemia I think 0r worsened my symptoms of anemia; very low energy, greyish hair etc.
Then last October i started taking 60mg of iron a day and it improved my energy level and I became warm when i took it but mostly in short bursts but I began to feel what i felt is normal.
Then that stopped working so well and my joints started clicking and found out it was a copper deficiency, thanks to @Douglas Ek.
Then took copper 5-10mg a day and felt the best I ever have in my life; high energy, testosterone went from 600 - 900 etc. Genuinely the best I have ever felt in my life.
Then it started to stop working as well and I stopped taking copper because i was worried about overload and at the same time I got a new job that was stressful, maybe this worsened my health too. Now Im back where i started only slightly better than before...
My energy levels are below average again and my hair is limp and dry like it was before copper supplementation.
I was so hopeful and felt like a new person and what i thought someone my age should feel like but now its flipped over and Im starting to feel hopeless.
Would anyone be able to give me any insight into what's happened or your opinion on what i should do next?
Thanks for reading through this far if you have I know its a lot, Id appreciate any reply
And I can provide more information if needed and tbf I’ve probably forgotten to include a few details. Thanks again.
