A balanced trace mineral supplement containing both zinc and copper can maintain proper mineral ratios. Copper is a trace mineral directly involved in melanin production. Zinc deficiency creates relative copper excess, which leads to melanin dysregulation. High copper combined with low zinc forces the body to retain excess estrogen. Zinc regulates copper status, and the two minerals operate in a ratio-dependent relationship. The zinc-copper mineral imbalance is a key driver of sustained estrogen dominance.
