People should not take copper supplements if they are using the birth control pill, the IUD, or on blood thinners. I take 2400 mg. The protective sheaths surrounding the brain are composed of lecithin. High doses of PABA help lower the white blood cells. Choline is critical for nerve function and inositol aids digestion.
