Copper and Zinc Balance in ADD

Based on biochemical balancing principles, the primary and most potent nutrient that acts as a copper antagonist is Zinc.

Key Relationships

  • Zinc and Copper Antagonism: Zinc and copper are physiological antagonists. An excess of copper often correlates with a functional deficiency of zinc, which is frequently observed in behavioral and attention disorders.
  • Biochemical Impact: High tissue levels of copper can stimulate the central nervous system, contributing to hyperactivity, anxiety, and concentration difficulties. Supplementing with Zinc helps to lower and normalize tissue copper levels.
  • Testing and Caution: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) or blood panels are typically recommended to evaluate the ratio between zinc and copper before initiating high-dose supplementation, as individual metabolic types vary.
