copper defficiency and excessive body hair
-
Last couple of years i was doing the paleotard diet mostly 500g of ribeye 1-2 liters of milk a day and fruits. Well i made my self severely copper deficient for 3 years which i finally cured recently. One thing i noticed before i barely had any body hair but in the last couple of years i have become a real life Chewbacca, hair on my ears, back, shoulders, chest and extremely long. Is there any way to reverse this?
-
How did you diagnose copper deficiency and how did you get cured?
Did you do labs?
Or did you just go by feelings?
I have one friend who actually had the opposite effect. He was hairless, young pretty phenotype, then went gorilla hairy, estrogenic, aged, pear shaped body on copper supplementation for a year.

@Sigma I had extreme histamine intolerance out of nowhere and white hairs even thought i am 26, i supplemented copper bisglycinate for 3 months at 4mg a day along side with cacao and liver once a week. Histamine intolerance is long gone and my hair is back to been it's original color. Another thing that i noticed i had large patches of white spots on my nails which is supposed to be associated with zinc deficiency when i supplemented copper those spots disappeared.

@Sigma I tried to cure my copper deficiency naturally like most retards on the old forum recommended with liver cacao mushrooms etc. Didn't work for almost 2 years only copper bisglycinate helped to cure me completely.

@mightycoomer squidmaxxing is optimal for copper

@mightycoomer interesting. But you still considered the cacao and liver helpful?
Check out my thread please bro.
I have extreme copper deficiency and low ceruloplasmin but I am scared of supping copper.
I used to megadose zinc but drifnitely imbalanced myself further.
Funnily enough I used to have those white spots also but they actually went away with zinc supplementation but I have long theorized how improving copper status could also improve intracellular zinc status and bioavailability. Since Ive heard a few people improving their zinc status with copper supplementation.

@Sigma hey bro definitely if you are copper deficient start with 2mg and use up to max 4mg for 2-3 months, it's even safe to use up to 10mg a day, cacao on it's own won't save you neither will liver if its a serious deficiency.
Good luck
