Sorry,. Only just awoke after getting to sleep at 04:00.
Yes, you can take copper
@PTFC but I do that within a mineral only tablet and it's 300% of RDA. The funny/tragic thing is that many of my ex services friends haven't really done well on civvy street. All of us become functioning alkies with the NAAFI being the place we all went and with heavily subsidised booze.
I started to supplement early and because I worked out hard and enjoyed any physical activity. Depression has never been far away and I started to research how to try and help myself. I've tried so many things that I really could write a book but magnesium and at at least 2-3times the recommended dose, has seen dramatic results. It took me awhile to find the right sort so that I was running to the loo but mag Malate was that for me plus malic acid has its own benefits so win/win.
If I had to pick just 4 to take then,depending on age it would be DHEA, magnesium, B complex (optimised) and folic acid ( optimised)
the true litmus test is I am alive but many of my service friends are not and many down to cirrhosis. I think we don't get the nutrients we need, not even with organic. I really am testament to how these things help.
Crohns, Wegeners granulomatosis etc, I've yet to even have one surgery where others have had many. I take what my specialist say seriously but I research the drugs and don't always blindly take them
we have all the information we need but most won't use it. My body is looking better since the addition of DHEA & I have seen my body change shape and the fat has lessened around my torso. I'd like to think I will get back to the gym but baby steps.
For sleep I use melatonin with GABA, valerian and hops. Works a treat but I only use it if I've been severely sleep deprived
