I think you might have missed my point. The body dumps excess minerals and vitamins out of your body through urination. The body cannot separate zinc and copper in its task of dumping an excess. So, if you have a normal amount of copper and supplement with zinc, the body will dump the excess zinc and will take copper with it. Since you started with the correct amount of copper, by dumping copper (along with the zinc excess) you become copper deficient. This also works the same way with sodium and potassium. Take in too much sodium and the body's dumping of excess sodium can make you potassium deficient. All of these "companion" minerals should be taken in balance.
Copper pipes passivate themselves pretty quickly with ordinary water, and the water that comes out of your tap will not contain much after the first year... Unless you have softened water. Soft water really wants to grab mineral salts and put them back into the water. So, the combination of softened water and copper pipes will lead to a lot of copper in the water. I have softened water, but it is flowing through plastic pipes. On Sat, Mar 18, 2017 at 4:43 PM, a.ashfield <a.ashfi...@verizon.net> wrote: > Bob, > The Molecular Multi does contain Zinc.
