      The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of Zinc given at 90mg/d in conjunction
      with 2mg/d of copper in ALS patients.
    
Name: Zinc and Copper
Description: Optizinc 90 mg/d Copper 1 mg

 Measure: To evaluate the safety of high doses of zinc in patients with ALS Time: 1 year
   
Secondary Outcomes 
 Measure: Measure levels of BMAA in blood and urine to determine if there is a decline in these levels over the course of treatment Time: 1 year
 
Purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Randomized
Single Group Assignment 
There is one SNP
SNPs
1 G93A 
Previous studies have shown that in ALS
      mutant G93A SOD transgenic mice, actual zinc supplementation delayed death. --- G93A ---
