Fair warning I’m not a doctor nor a biologist so I can be entirely wrong.
I had a heart arrhythmia awhile back and read zinc and magnesium could help. Started supplementing, it didn’t help the heart but I noticed it helped my recovery a lot. I stupidly just continued taking it.
Now we fast forward 3 years later I’m dealing with a very weird issue where my injuries are very slow to heal. I test my iron and zinc and I’m near anemic levels.
Immediately I took iron and copper for a month and I had zero problems moving forward. Essentially Iron Copper and Zinc all fight for absorption so if you supplement one when its unneeded the others will suffer. Its a very very tough balancing act.
Thanks for sharing! It might be beneficial to supplement maybe once a week then so mostly everything comes from diet. Then anything that is low would be picked up by supplements and there would be little contention for absorption

Yep that’s what I do with iron since I have pretty low absorption naturally anyways.
Best of luck!
