Comments on: The micronutrient triage theory of aging http://anti-agingfirewalls.com/2009/12/05/the-micronutrient-triage-theory-of-aging/ A weblog on the science and practices of living healthily very long - perhaps hundreds of years.

I also take a lot of zink which competes with the copper. Have you seen my supplement regimen linked to in the main post above? Like you, I have no idea if the additional copper is needed or is the right amount. My skin appears to be great as do all my other health indicators. At some point I might do a trace mineral blood test, something you might want to think about given your concern. Vince Peter:

I've started researching it because I suspect a copper deficiency due to the large number chelating supplements I take - resveratrol, ALA, etc... My dietary intake is about 2 mg/d, as a rough estimate, and with no easy means to know how much is in my blood I'm a little concerned. What clued me into this are negative skin changes over the last 6 months since I ramped up intake if resvertrol (to 100 mg/d from 40), ALA, and quercetin. And as of yet I have no data to indicate how much copper is removed by these supplements or whether the body is smart eough to keep a reserve. In your list of important micornutrients is copper.

You might check on the Lifestyle Regimen in my treatise, at http://www.vincegiuliano.name/Antiagingfirewalls.htm#Lifestyleregimen. As I see it, the lifestyle activities are necessary for achieving a very long life but might not be sufficient by themselves. For example, the supplement regimen contains a number of essential micronutrients that moight or might not be present in suficient quantities even in a well-balanced diet.
