>>Copper and Insomnia
A hallmark of copper imbalance is insomnia. Copper has a stimulating effect on the brain, causing the mind to race and exciting the emotions. High copper individuals often stay up late and have difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Biounavailable Calcium and Magnesium
In other cases of insomnia, the calcium and magnesium levels are elevated. In these instances, often the person has excess calcium in the hair, but it is deficient in the blood. An individual is losing calcium and magnesium into the hair and other soft tissues. The effect may be similar to a deficiency. The calcium and magnesium are what we call biounavailable. These individuals often also have a copper imbalance contributing to their insomnia, as explained below. Especially when the calcium and magnesium are very high, extra Paramin, or calcium and magnesium, especially in the evening, may be helpful for sleep.

Improving the copper balance often takes time. If the diet and regular supplement program are not enough to combat insomnia, high copper individuals may benefit by adding extra molybdenum (Moly-Cu) along with a little zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 (Endo-Doxine) in the evening.
