ZINC is the culprit. If you aren't deficient then it fatigues your body. High doses or taking zinc on an empty stomach can cause stomach upset and general physical fatigue. I do suppliment copper but I still would tired. I stopped for a few days now and I'm not falling asleep at work anymore. I thought it was the reta, but it isn't. I'm still on reta.

Iron was my issue. My Iron and Ferritin were very low. After taking two servings a day I feel better. Im still tired but thats just from normal every day life of kids and sleep.
I take 50mg Zinc per day but can't say I've ever found this - tbh it makes me feel great and horny LOL Its required for tendon repair.
It definitely makes me horny too lol. It could be the reta and zinc together maybe that made me tired.
My copper supplements come from the birdshot @KMC sends my way whenever I'm near the blackberries that grow where our dirt meets.
Haha I heard that's the best way to get copper into your body.
