The Supplement gathers insights from biohackers, experts, and scientific research to craft straightforward health stacks to add to your daily routines. Please do your own research on top of the following and consult with healthcare professionals before making significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.

The Stack

Another simple, but essential stack. For those who are taking zinc or copper, there is a duality between the two elements which means they should be taken in tandem. This stack is a good example of how there can be unknown prerequisites with certain supplements.

How it works

For one of these minerals to do its job properly it requires the others’ help. This is true of many processes that involve zinc and copper, such as immune function and antioxidant defence. On the other side of the coin, depending on the amount of zinc you take, it can inadvertently cause a copper deficiency. Ensuring you consume both of these minerals will negate this.

The Dosage

Zinc

• Background: Zinc plays a vital role in immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis, among other critical processes.

• Type: Zinc orotate

• Dosage: 15mg

Copper

• Background: Copper, on the other hand, is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, collagen production, and the maintenance of healthy nerves and bones.

• Type: Copper orotate

• Dosage: 1-3mg

On this occasion, there won’t be a specific brand suggestion as minerals tend to pop up in other products - and it makes sense to try and combine certain compounds to stay cost and health-effective. Make sure to check your existing supplements incase you’re already meeting this dosage of both zinc and copper.
