Raising Ceruloplasmin When Copper Won't Do It | Masterjohn Q&A Files #312

If it does not raise in parallel, the usual suspects to look at are vitamin A and thyroid hormone. However, in this person's case, his own evidence from self-experiments suggest that he needs antioxidants to lower his transferrin saturation. Lowering his transferrin saturation may be the key to raising his ceruloplasmin. This is a clip from a live Q&A session open to CMJ Masterpass members.
