Dear Janejane,
No no no!!! I am not a nutrition expert, not nearly, please don't think I am one!
The peeling lips...it sounds like you've tried a few things. Have you done allergy elimination?
I take VitaSynergy for Women by the Synergy Company. Only available directly from the company, online. They're not cheap!
I think more people are likely to have too much copper than not enough. As far as lab work, serum copper is not enough information--if you also test your ceroluplasmin you can calculate what your free copper is. Zinc chelates copper (they compete for absorption). If you are a vegetarian, your zinc can be low because it is low in vegetarian foods, and also gets bound by phytates in grains and beans. Maybe you should be taking a good multi-mineral chelate?
