Can I take Copper and Evening primrose oil together?

Why this happens

Copper is a mineral absorbed primarily in the small intestine, while evening primrose oil is a source of essential fatty acids (GLA). They do not share the same absorption pathways or metabolic processes in the body, and they do not interfere with each other's biological functions.

You can take copper and evening primrose oil together. As with all supplements, it is best to follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or those provided by your healthcare professional. Taking them with food may help prevent any mild stomach upset.
