Dealing with a mysterious zinc, iron, AND copper deficiency at the same time?!

​

Hi all,

For many months I have been dealing with this troublesome trifecta. My ferritin has luckily been responding to iron supplements.

But my Zinc and copper/ceruloplasm levels haven't moved from deficient levels, even with daily supplementation of 25mg of zinc biglycinate and 2mg of copper.

I supplement correctly, take everything 4 hours apart from each other, on an empty stomach, etc. My diet is 100% whole foods based, no junk, and lots of soaked beans, seeds, nuts, cacao powder, enough protein, etc. No lower digestion problems (but I do experience LPR/acid reflux occasionally (mostly from coffee))

Anyone else experienced this or have thoughts to share?! I'm at my wits end and my doctor thus far doesn't have an answer either.
