Bob,
I didn't miss your point. What Sardi said was that adding copper to a
vitamin pill was not the answer. I happen to have too much copper in my
water even though the house is 27 years old, as I can tell from the
blue/green stain left if the water drips.
Some, probably many, of the needs of the body for trace elements are
poorly understood. It is not a subject that gets much study and one
reads that most published papers in medicine are not reproducible. I'm
not an expert in the field, but as I said, think Sardi probably is. If
you know of a better one (or a better product) please let me know. I
have seen studies that claim there is no advantage for the average
person to take a multi-vitamin pill.

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.

Bob,
The Molecular Multi does contain Zinc. I believe Dr. Sardi has
done his homework, although I suppose there are other opinions.
Sardi writes this about copper.
Copper
NOT PROVIDED IN THE MOLECULAR MULTI
Copper is a strong oxidant. It is required for connective tissue
(collagen) formation.
The installation of copper in place of lead plumbing and piping
has changed the whole approach to copper nutrition. Inorganically
bound copper in dietary supplements and drinking water it much
more damaging to the brain than bound copper in foods. The
Alzheimer’s epidemic coincides with installation of copper
plumbing in developed but not undeveloped countries. [Nutrients

So, will the suppliers of the vegetables grown in this manner
supply a pill in the package for the missing nutrients in their
prodcuts?
It is not as easy as it sounds to find an acceptable supplement.
The Formula Inc "Molecular Multi" is far from complete. Where are
the calcium, copper, and vanadium? The body's regulatory system
dumps excess zinc and copper together (without discrimination).
If copper and zinc are not taken simultaneously, dumping the
excess zinc will cause a copper deficiency. Vanadium in trace
amounts helps prevent (and treat) adult onset diabetes. The
"Molecular Multi" may not even be "better than nothing".
So why aren't we in more trouble today with the lack of the
nutrients in farm produced vegetables? Because meats are rich in
many of those nutrients and most of us eat meat. Despite the fact
that I hate the thought of eating animals, I recognize that with
today's marketplace foods, I would become malnourished by not
eating meat. Eating veal is even more nutrient rich because
nutrient absorption by the young animals is far higher than older
animals.
