One of the lesser-known nutrient disorders involves low copper levels, which can lead to numbness, balance problems, muscle weakness, and even difficulty walking. Some doctors say severe copper deficiency can sometimes resemble conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord disorders. Excess zinc supplementation is one surprising cause because too much zinc can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb copper properly.
