Hello , a year ago I decided to suplement with 200 mg of zinc per day(I know it was very stupid).This killed my libido completely.Some months later I had blood test done that showed:
ceruloplasmin -> 0,20 mg% normal range -> 0,15-,0,60
zinc ->89,0 ug/dl normal range -> 50-120
ferritin ->66,0 ug/ml normal range ->30-437
My doctor said that those levels were normal and that I shouldnt worry about it.
Some months later after doing my research I figured out that I probably have caused a copper deficiency.
Coper deficiency leads to low ferriting and low DHT(which is responsible for erections)
I then started suplementing with copper(25 mg per day)
My libido went up IMMEDIATLY but it did not get back to the way it was.
After 5 days on 25 mg of copper per day my libido started lowering again.
Then I decided to test my blood levels of copper and zinc.
My levels now are
Copper -> 102 ug/dl normal range -> 70-140
Zinc ->73,7 ug/dl normal range ->50-120
What do I need to do?Do I need to supplement with zinc?
