Molybdenum - Copper Dumping

Messages

Hi all,

Although my Doctor's Data hair tests showed normal copper levels, my blood tests show high Non-Ceruloplasmin-Bound Copper. I have been taking Molybdenum in fairly aggressive doses and have been having huge outbreaks of acne. Does this mean that I indeed have high Copper (due to "Copper dumping") or would this reaction be expected from people with normal Copper levels?

Thanks!

Thanks! That post is one of the most informative I've found on this site. At least in relation to my issues. Thanks again for pointing it out.
