and then they're getting copper deficient or you can actually get all sorts of deficiencies if you take a bunch of unopposed zinc without balancing it with copper
if you take a lot of unopposed zinc you can give yourself a copper deficiency
you take a lot of unopposed zinc you can give yourself a copper deficiency there's a there's a protein in the intestines called metallothioneine which binds both copper and zinc it kind of helps us to balance that ratio and if you take a lot of zinc without copper in it then you can deplete yourself of copper
