Copper deficiency?

I need some assistance interpreting some test results for copper levels. My doctor seems to not think much of these results, but I'm not so sure!!

Plasma Copper 8.5 (ref 11.0 - 22.0)
Ceruloplasmin 0.16 (ref 0.20 - 0.45)

In his oinion if I supplement with copper, I'll most likely just increase my free / toxic copper levels because my ceruloplasmin is so low.

My zinc levels are also low.

Plasma Zinc 11.6 (ref 9.0 - 19.0)

Which I'm already on 50mg of zinc picolinate / day for.

I have candida, malabsorption, pyroluria and a lot of emotional problems!

Any help much appreciated! Tweet
