>want to take a copper supplement
>because i take a vitamin C supplement every day (powder), and i read taking plain ascorbic acid like that depletes copper because copper is required in its metabolism, and all natural vtamic C is usually found with copper, but when you take fake lab made vit C (ascorbic acid) it lacks the copper, so the body will leach copper from elsewhere in the body to process the vit C (dr berg said so, is it true?)
>not much copper in any multivitamin i see, only like 20%, while zinc is the same or higher
>taking zinc apparnetly further depletes copper, they are kinda antagonistic
>look for dedicated copper supplement
>can't even find one that's just copper
>the ones i can find come with even more zinc, which would further deplete my copper
>I DON'T WANT ZINC YOU CUNTS I GET ENOUGH OF THAT I JUST WANT PLAIN OLD COPPER BY ITSELF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>...
>cleaning my desk drawer
>see old coins in there
>suddenly think
>what if i just put a penny in my glass of water every day and just keep refilling that with water and drinking from it but leave the penny in there, and some of the copper will leach out from the coin into the water im drinking
>get some copper, plus save a lot of money instead of buying another supplement, if i can even find it

So, would it work?
