Actually Dr. Pickart has stated before: "Don't take copper sulfate - It will damage your GI tract. Stick to the amino acid-copper chelate ...5mg daily which should be OK...Amino acid chelates are much less irritating or can have anti-inflammatory actions." Best Wishes!

Thank you for warning us, I had no idea about the different kinds let alone which would be safe to take. I feel like I get the right amount of copper balanced with the right balance of zinc because I've been taking Dr. Andrew Weil's vitamins for many years and he keeps up with the latest science and changes his formulas accordingly if the need arises to keep it in line with the most up--to-date science. Because I know I'm getting enough I do wonder if I could possibly get too much adding the...

That should be fine. If for some reason it is not I am sure Dr. Pickart will chime in.

Many thanks for this valued information. What form of copper would be the best to supplements with, please? Thanks, Kris

The main sign of severe copper deficiency in animals and humans is anemia that is unresponsive to iron therapy and is accompanied by severe abnormalities in bone marrow. Other symptoms include low white cell...

Dr. Pickart had me post this for your reading enjoyment. In 1984, I observed that GHK-Cu possesses a mild antioxidant activity similar to the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which manifests itself as a calming of red and irritated skin. Steve Aust’s lab at Utah State University discovered that GHK-Cu blocks the damage-induced release of oxidizing iron molecules from ferritin. Further discoveries followed. Vinci et al. at the University of Catalina in Italy reported that GHK-Cu blocks tissue...

The Effect of GHK on Nervous System Function and Cognitive Decline NEW ARTICLE PUBLISHED!! Why is this so important? A ge-related cognitive decline is a common problem for many elderly people, yet its cause is poorly understood. Over 99% of investigational drugs, participating in over 200 clinical trials, failed to receive approval for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease [ 1 ].
