One big mistake with Multivitamins/ Ek badi galti multivitamins ke saath!
A) Do not take zinc supplements and copper, iron, or phosphorus supplements at the same time. It is best to space doses of these products 2 hours apart, to get the full benefit from each dietary supplement.

B) Dangers of combining copper and zinc
Zinc and copper are both valuable minerals that can be taken in supplement forms to treat a range of concerns, from hair loss to liver disease. However, Richards warns that when taken together in high doses, they could lead to dangerous side effects.
“High-dose zinc and copper supplements can be dangerous to take together due to their intricate relationship and potential for imbalance,” she says. “Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the body, and excessive intake of one can lead to a deficiency of the other.” Yikes!
This can especially become an issue if it results in a copper deficiency. “Taking large amounts of zinc can interfere with copper absorption and utilization, which may result in copper deficiency over time,” Richards explains.
