After I posted the video about the DIY Zinc Test, some of you asked which zinc supplements I was using to correct my zinc deficiency and which ones I would recommend in general. That's why in this video I show you the three forms of zinc that I personally use and also talk a little bit about the dosing and the relationship with copper. Hope you find this video helpful! If you have any questions for me, let me know in the comments!
Products I mentioned in the video:

Well done. I learned something that no other zinc video has discussed.
Thank you! I watched a Dr Berg video (the importance of zinc for the immune system) where he says that for supplements, Zinc Bisglycinate is the best. He stated that it is much more bioavailable; a 230% better absorption rate that zinc sulphate, and a 390% better absorption rate than zinc oxide.
Zinc bicglycinate is a great form of zinc. Dr Berg is absolutely right.
@@Vitalivesfree what is the difference between bisglycinate and glycinate?
@@radedjordjevic8638 did you find out?
@@radedjordjevic8638 it’s the same, on the front it’ll say “Glycinate” but when you look at the supplement facts it says “Zinc bisglycinate”
Omg im happy i found you, cant stop watching your videos - subscribed!
So glad you found me and thanks for subbing!
nice video. very helpful. thanks
Thank you so much a very useful information
hi! wanna ask.. what about now? is those product still your favorite zinc or any replacement product?
Thanks for guiding.
Hi Vita, Thank you for your very useful video, please advice... how do you take your zinc, together with Copper or separately ?
With copper but at different times of the day. ❤️
Hi I really like your information about zinc !
I don't want to get copper deficient so is it best I take the one with copper from now supplements, also what's the beat way to take zinc with food or without ?
If you take a zinc supplement that already contains copper, it's questionable how much of it will actually get absorbed because they kind of interfere with each other's absorption. I would take them at different times of the day. Zinc should always be taken after a meal. ❤️
VitaLivesFree does taking zinc supplements automatically make you copper deficient?
Hi great info. I would suggest people get a hair analysis so they can properly balance there minerals, not just guess.
Zinc plasma in blood is an efficient test (and better than serum, and imo hair)
GREAT VIDEO,,THANKS
I have been looking for a good zinc supplement. I may order the L Optizinc 30 mg. since it does not deplete copper. What liquid chlorophyll do you take? Thanks for the information!
ChlorOxygen is great. Also the one from NOW Foods.
Cool thanks for the cooper tips too
As its quite hard to find the monomethionine zinc and copper in one pill as Optizinc in my country. I just purchased zin picolinate 30mg (brand as Nature's plus) and what way to balance the copper? Take other supplement containt with copper?
Yes, you can get either a copper supplement or liquid chlorophyll. xx
Hello, will taking a zinc supplement lower iron and ferritin? I need to take zinc because I have Hashimoto’s but iron is a low so I need iron. I noticed the one you recommended on this video has copper in it.
High doses might interfere with iron absorption. I would definitely not take them at the same time of the day.
I don't know about you, but the Now Food L-OptiZinc gave me the itches so I switched to Zinc gluconate and no problems so far.
Interesting! I never got itching from any zinc supplements. ❤️
The copper zinc - intake video, please
How about the NutriGold Zinc Gold, which is a food form type of zinc from sprouts?
Sounds like a very good product. I would certainly try it if I was looking for a zinc supplement.
Hello, is it normal for optzinc to have any odor? When I open the pot I can smell it. Also I feel bad when I take it in fasted state, is the product not good for me or can it be a spoiled product? I usually have no problem with any type of food. Thanks
Yes, it could have some odour, and zinc supplements should always be taken after a meal because they can cause nausea and upset stomach if taken on an empty stomach. xx
@@Vitalivesfree thanks
You didn't mention, Zinc Citrate.
what about zinc bisglynate chelate ...now foods multivitamins have zinc in this form...I take these multivitamins
That's a good form as well.
We get plenty of copper per day. Some people even more than they need. And although it's an essential trace mineral, its function is less important than minerals like magnesium, zinc, potassium and calcium. So I'd rather have higher zinc levels and lower copper than vice versa. Btw, never heard of copper deficiency.
People with low iron have copper deficiency. No practitioner will advise you to take vit. or minerals , they will give you transcription for dangerous chemicals and make $$$$.
DUAL 777 so what form of Zinc do you recommend?
Hi, i'm also using the same brand. I have the 50 mg. How many mg for zinc picolinate to be taken? Because I'm using it to treat my acne. They said that 30mg is enough but mine is 50mg.
I can't tell you what and how much you must take. Zinc generally stays in the body for a while, so taking a larger dose every other day rather than a smaller one every day could work. xx
Hi, Thank you for the reply and the info. 😍😍
Jen Niffer has the Zinc worked at all for your acne???
Which brand do you use for the liquid chlorophyll to get the copper.
I tried NOW Foods and liked it. Also ChlorOxygen.
i recently purchased zinc gummies from sprouts immune system mixed berry flavored are thoes good for you 😫 amd are gummies goodbnbfor you i herd it wasnt good but im curious because i got this one at sprouts foor like almost 40 45 dollars i belive ugh
It depends on what kind of form zinc is in, you have to check on the label. Gummies generally aren't the best choice because the ingredients aren't the best. In order to make them taste good, they're usually loaded with some kind of sweeteners, flavours, etc.
Which type of zinc is best to use to heal leaky gut besides zinc carnosine?
All of the forms I mentioned in the video should be good if you're actually low in zinc. 💖
VitaLivesFree - Thank You 🙏
Which one do you recommend to get copper ring out eyes? And then which one do you recommend to balance them both out?
I would take both copper and zinc at different times of the day to balance both out. xx
can u take them together with like some zinc supplements also contain copper in them i.e like l opti zinc?
@@omraz7864 did u get benefit of zinc with copper in single tablet
@@smitashinde6263 I dont take copper I just take 40mg elemental zinc cos I've already got to much copper in my blood serum
@@omraz7864 i have zimc and copper both low
Pls do check healthhey zinc with copper onamazon, is it good to increase both the levels , or i should take it different tablets
I would always take zinc and copper at different times of the day as they interfere with each other's absorption.
I am trying for zinc methionine 9mg with copper 1mg in one tablet,can i take to increase both level of zinc and copper or it will just increase either one of them
I've heard that zinc methionine doesn't interfere with copper absorption, so hopefully it's going to work well.
Is it worked??
What about L-optizinc Vs. Zinc Glycinate?
mohammad tariq would really love to know this as well!!
Hi I'm a 50 year old male what type of zinc would you recommend for me? Thanks for the vids...🙂
I wouldn't recommend taking zinc without checking your levels and making sure that you're really low on it. It's so easy to deplete copper levels with extra supplemental zinc. Hair mineral analysis is a great way to test the levels of all the minerals. All the types of zinc I mentioned in this video are great forms.
@@Vitalivesfree many thanks
VitaLivesFree where do you have a hair mineral analysis done? I’m more confused on which zinc to take now more than ever after all these videos because every person says something different!!! 😫😫 thx in advance for any help u may have and thx for the great video!!! Def will be a new subscriber to your channel 😍
Do you take copper with the l optimizezinc?
Yes, combining zinc with copper is always a good idea. They just need to be taken at different times of the day.
You never mention anything about Zinc Orotate. Which many doctors say are better, cheaper and easier to digest.
It's also more expensive and more difficult to find. Whether it's more easily absorbed, remains a big question. ❤️
How much time it should be in between zinc and copper 2 or 3 hours??
I would wait even longer, perhaps 12 hours or so. I would take one in the morning and the other one in the evening.
What are your thoughts on zinc sulfate? X
It's not well absorbed.
@@Vitalivesfree OK I'm going to try picolate 😁
According to the Life Extension bottle, you can safely take 50mg or less of Zinc. But if you exceed 50mg then you would have to have copper.
I would take copper any time when taking zinc, no matter how low the dose. xx
So to get that copper, If I take a zinc supplement, couldn't I just have a serving of pistachios? I know you take liquid chlorophyll but pistachios also look like a good source of copper.
Vinny V An ounce of pistachios contain around 0.25mg of copper, so really not much at all if you're deficient or taking zinc supplements. xx
@@Vitalivesfree I agree with your response here. Do your own research Vinny, but I think you will find that the most credible sources recommend that Zinc should be taken, ideally, in a 15:1 or 15:2 ratio. @Vinny V , I would discourage leaning towards manufacturers to provide you with solid health direction or instruction. The consumer is ultimately responsible for what is consumed (within reason) & companies rely on that legal truth. Do your own research, consistently. Why? What is considered good & true Information at one point may be different at another point for many varying reasons.
I was taking zinc for a while but I don't think I was absorbing it and I have no idea why, is there anything I can do that can help ?
Try to balance it with some copper at different times of the day. xx
yeah I guess I could get a zinc with added copper supplement thanks for the reply :)
+fshfrghedht64 zinc interferes with copper absorption, so a combined supplement is worthless. xx
or do they have to be taken separately ?
Yes, like I said, they need to be taken at different times of the day, or else they interfere with each other's absorption. xx
pleas what about zinc as amino acid chelate ? good or not ?
Yes, amino acid chelates are absorbed well.
What about getting zinc and copper from foods? I try to avoid supplements unless they are herbs!!
It's worth trying. However, soil is depleted, and if you're really deficient, food alone might not be enough. xx
Red meat and seafood are the best food sources
Does zinc picolinate help to block dht in men?
Why would you wanna block DHT? Is it abnormally elevated? Are you balding?
If i begin taking NOW L-optizinc how much liquid chlorophyll should I consume? Also, would it be wise to take zinc in the morning and chlorophyll at night?
+Lahana W There are different opinions out there. Anywhere between 1:7 to 1:15 for the copper to zinc ratio, so you'll just have to experiment and find what works for you. I personally took 100mg of chlorophyllin which contained 4mg of copper. xx
Do you still recommend the l optizinc? The one that has copper in it... can I just take that daily without worrying about a copper deficiency or do I still need copper with that?
It's a good source of zinc, but I wouldn't rely on it for copper. Its highly doubtful any of it would be absorbed with the zinc and it's such a tiny amount anyway.
Labas, Vita :) Kokioj klinikoj dareisi kraujo tyrimus?
Ziurint apie kuriuos sneki. Cinko kraujo tyrimai nelabai ka rodo, del to labiau rekomenduojama pasidaryti namu salygu skonio testa, kuri minejau sioje video. O kitus tyrimus dariausi arba Lietuvoje per kraujolaboratorija.lt (nes jie turi taskus keliuose miestuose ir puikia nuolaidu sistema), arba cia Tenerifeje privacioje laboratorijoje. xx
aciu uz atsakyma! mano skydliauke irgi nekaip veikia, ir todel ~puse metu geriu hormonus. kaip tu manai ar man pavyktu ju atsisakyti ir gydytis naturaliai? Turiu ir antra klausima: as itariu, kad mano sesei gali buti tas pats (ji turi visus simptomus), bet jai dar prie to pacio yra ir labai dideli sanariu skausmai (ypac keliu, jai kartais labai skauda net vaikscioti, o ji dar tik 19-os, bijau, kas bus toliau). Kaip tu manai, ar galima padeti ir jai naturaliais metodais?

Tu tikriausiai nujauti, ka as pasakysiu. Zinoma, kad imanoma! Tik nepasiduokit abi. Ieskokit tikrosios savo sveikatos problemu priezasties. Skaitykit ir domekites kiek imanoma daugiau. Del skydliaukes labai rekomenduoju Dr Kharrazian knyga ir Isabella Wentz knyga apie skydliaukes bedas ir Hashimoto tiroidita (nepamenu tiksliu pavadinimu, bet imetus i Amazon labai greitai surasi). Labai svarbu ne tik ziureti i maista ir papildus bet ir gyvenimo stiliu sureguliuoti. Eiti miegoti anksti, keltis anksti, ir visada tuo paciu metu. Valgyti visada tuo paciu metu, neuzkandziauti, ir t.t. Mazinti stresa su joga, meditacija, ir t.t. Ir zinoma svarbiausia reikia tiketi, kad busit sveikos. Ir dar beje labai tiketina, kad sese turi tas pacias skydliaukes problemas, nes daznai polinkis eina genetiskai.Stai pvz. mano seimoj visos moterys mamos pusej turi Hashimoto tiroidita: as, mama, mamos sesuo, mamos pussesere, ir numanom, kad ir mociute turejo, bet ji mire taip ir nesuzinojus del ko jai buvo blogai. Paziuresim, ar man pavyks buti pirmai jo atsikraciusiai. :-) Sekmes jums abiems! Rasyk, jei turesi daugiau klausimu. xx
Perziurejau visus tavo su hashimoto susijusius video ir turint omeny, jog hormonai tikrai neissprendzia visu problemu, nusprendziau, kad geriau gydytis paciai. Ar galiu Tau parasyt i email? Tiesiog nezinau kaip pradeti ir gal galetum patarti (gal verta padaryti cleanse'ą? gal verta pirma bakterijų, candidos atsikratyt?). Labai sunku islikti pozityviai, ypac zinant, kad mano sesei dar blogiau.. Mane Tavo sitie du atsakymai iki asaru sugraudino... aciu uz nuosirduma ir pozityvuma..
BeingNumber1
Zinau ta jausma, kai nezinai nuo ko pradeti ir galva sukasi nuo informacijos pertekliaus. Pirmiausiai pradeciau nuo tu dvieju knygu, nes labai svarbu apsisarvuoti ziniomis apie skydliauke. Jas perskaicius viskas pasidays daug aiskiau. O tada verta pradetis gilintis i virskinimo sistemos sveikata, nes visos sveikatos problemos kyla butent is ten, ir fizines, ir psichines. Net ir Hipokratas pasake pries tukstancius metu, kad visos ligos kyla is zarnyno. Labai rekomenduoju knyga "Eat Wheat". Ten toks moderniausio mokslo ir Ajurvedos misinys, ir man nerealiai patiko ir padejo, daug ideju dave. Rasyk man i emaila jei turesi daugiau klausimu. Adresas yra video description apacioje. Sekmes! Dziaugiuosi, kad galiu padeti. xx
is it okay to take zinc glycinate alone?
In small amounts probably yes, but remember that if you take zinc long term, especially 30mg and over, you need to take copper, too. ❤️
which one is the best for TESTOSTERONE boost?
Whatever is good for boosting zinc levels, will also help testosterone, so all of these forms of zinc are great. xx
Testosterone booster for young people could be very dangerous!!! Warning. ITS A TWO MONTH SUPPLY ONLY ! No more
zinc its different I think
, But testosterone booster fuck me up cuz I wasn't alert right
@@Vitalivesfree zinc sulfate of 15mg is good and/or enough for that purpose?
@@edgarbonilla372zinc sulfate isn't very well absorbed. ❤️
I'm taking zinc supplement of now and just 2 days it is and my stomach is paining so badly I'm taking the supplement after the meals but no benefits its paining so bad even i can't write this 😷😭😦
Try a different form of zinc or at least a different brand. xx
VitaLivesFree thank you
What dosage? Anything over 30mg, gives me stomach pain..
Try liquid Zinc Sulfate with Glycerin. That should be USDA Organic
How long did it take you to deplete your copper and what kind of symptoms did you get from both low zinc and copper at once?
I took zinc alone for a year, and the problems started very gradually, so I didn't understand what was happening for a long time. I kept needing to raise the dose of zinc because it worked well for a while and then it wasn't working anymore. It was already suspicious when I went all the way to 100mg and still the zinc taste test showed that I was deficient. Then I started getting very weird back pain (and I never ever do), muscle pains, very weak muscles, extreme fatigue, lack of appetite, and nausea. This part happened very quickly, around 2 weeks after I bumped the dose up to 100mg, so I suspected very heavily that it was copper. When I read about copper deficiency, I realized that I'd just given one to myself. Lucky, after taking chlorophyll, already on the first day my pains and fatigue disappeared and I'm feeling better and better every day now. xx
Wow! Thank you so much. Very good to know.
VitaLivesFree ... what if I take copper through whole foods such as sprouted raw garbanzo beans on daily basis... and chlorophyll through sugar free vegetable smoothies??? ... shall I still need to take copper with zinc tab?
Is L optizinc better than zinc glycinate?
They're both good. Some people prefer one or the other, but it's individual.
Hi i am a transgender and i am into my hrt. I am using zinc glycinate..is there there any drug interfere with estrogen and zinc? Is it ok for me to continue taking zinc?
It's really not a question anyone on the Internet can answer for you. You'll need to ask your doctor who's overseeing the transition. ❤️
I'm using ZINC(as amino chelate) 50mg,but resulting very weak
It might be depleting your copper. Her'e's a video I made about it: ua-cam.com/video/9OyZdh7qh1A/v-deo.html.
@@Vitalivesfree i have seen your video that you linked....but the supplement that i use is zinc chelate it has copper on it ad chelate too... I dont know if i do have low zinc but i wanna boost testosterone... So anything im missing?
@@mohamedsayed3058 Zinc interferes with copper absorption, so supplements that contain both are kind of useleless.
@@Vitalivesfree i dont get it is it bad or good?
We've ow learned that zinc picolinate is one of the worst ones.
I use the same brand how many mg of magnesium do you take?
I prefer applying magnesium oil on my skin. But if I take magnesium supplements, I stick to 300mg several times a week to replenish whatever is missing in our soils. xx
ok thanx for the answer hun what about iodine?
sakia d
I took it for a while until my body let me know it was saturated with it. I'm not taking it anymore, but perhaps I'll need it in the future again. But bear in mind I live surrounded by the ocean, so I get a lot of iodine naturally. xx
oh lucky u!
i have that zinc --pumpkin seeds but it seems like its not working to be honest
Perhaps you have issues with absorption, like low stomach acid, digestion issues, etc.?
VitaLivesFree not really. But I was searching on UA-cam it says no more than 30mg !
But 30 mg of zinc can be overdose and cause problems in body.but ideal dose is 11 to 15 mg
Yes, for long-term use.
You’re 😍
What is the benefits of Zinc Gluconate?
Just like all the other forms of zinc. It's also absorbed pretty well.
How to get zinc,from Kenya?
I have no idea, sorry!
I have a question this protein is for man not women i think Its that gonna be dangerous for women or not or it’s simple 🤔🤔🤔🤔please reply
No, zinc is needed by both women and men, if they are deficient in it.
Which zinc better to take for 60yrs old woman
All of these that are mentioned are absorbed very well and are great for any age.
Is Now Zinc Gluconate okay?
As far as I understand, gluconate is quite a good source as well.

This video is quite old, sorry. I use a much better microphone now. xx
What abt zinc glycinate
It's a good form, too.
Which zinc for hair grow
All of the zinc forms I mentioned in this video are good for hair growth. ❤️
cant find zinc without filler and caking agents
Garden of Life is very pure and works great.
@@Vitalivesfree thank you for reply vita i will have a look at them
What about zinc acetate
No experience with it. Can't really say much about it.
Isn't 30-50mg zinc to much?
It depends. If you're deficient in zinc, that's what you'll need. However, it should always be combined with copper (just at different times of the day) if you're planning to take it for a long time.
@@Vitalivesfree I will take zinc like for 1-3 months maybe should I need copper?
I can't tell you that for sure. You'll need to research it yourself. I personally wouldn't take extra zinc if it was just for month or two. But longer, yes. ❤️
I noticed a common point between zinc and copper supplement. They both hurt my stomach, when I take them on an empty stomach.
Yes, that's normal. Both of them should be taken on a full stomach.
What type off zinc will be convenient for my growth?
All the ones I mentioned. xx
Honestly you talk very fast and its hard to follow which bottle and brand of zink you are talking about. you should try a way to put it closer to the camera while you are talking so we can see the brand you are talking about. please make the improvements . thank you in advance
Everything is always listed in the description box. Just open it up.
Whays better drops or Capsule ..thank you 🙏
Whatever is more convenient for you. The drops can be quite disgusting, even if potentially easier to absorb.
@@Vitalivesfree thank you 😊🙏
Thank you very much for your video :-) I appreciate your knowledge. You seem like you do care and do good research. I have a female doctor who has an accent like yours. She is German. I pray Jesus make His blessings real to you and his love real to you. I pray that Jesus would strengthen your physical body and your whole spirit in Jesus name
Thank you so much for watching my videos!
Warning ⚠️ I took zinc copper and it made me throw up I became very nauseous.
Both zinc and copper must be taken on a full stomach to prevent nausea and upset stomach.
VitaLivesFree I took it with food and it still made nauseous unfortunately ☹️
@@pineapple365 same here 😥
Too much echo
What about zinc citrate?
It's well absorbed as well, but citrates might potentially interfere with copper absorption, so I personally avoid them. xx
Can't hear you clearly.
What about zinc orotate?
Overpriced but pretty good, too. 💖
I hate when they put gelatin in things! Gelatin is cruel.
No more cruel than any other animal based products. The most important parfof the human diet. ❤️
Now I'm more confused then when I started....boo
Are you a doctor?
No, thank goodness I'm not. If I was, I wouldn't be sharing any of this info.
How about zinc oxide??
Not the best form. There are plenty much better ones.
Zinc oxide is junk
But why would women choose zinc? Zinc is only for men only
Zinc is supposed to clear acne, that's why a lot of women take it. Plus, it's in each and every multivitamin supplement. xx
VitaLives: Did it worked to clear your acne? And how long does it take to effect?
DJYAD19 No, it didn't do much for my skin. Copper is what helped me the most and I talk about it in many videos. xx
VitaLives: But copper is something we have too much in our body and it is poison which leads to health issue. Hence we get enough copper by drinking tap water at home. We are mostly zinc deficiency. So why it didn't worked for me?
DJYAD19 Because according to recent studies, up to 75% of people in the west are copper deficient. Just watch my Copper Conspiracy video for all the information. xx
