It appears that molybdenum is not the only culprit in Copper Deficiency. There are articles ( I don't have any on hand at the moment) which blame Zinc Oxide for the same thing.

I don't think it is zinc oxide specifically Shagbark; it's zinc itself, for e.g. in supplemental zinc therapy. See for e.g.

I notice your webpage makes no mention of Molybdenum.
I take a multivitamin -mineral suplement that among other things has
