Description
Copper is one of the lesser known trace elements – nevertheless, it is an essential one that is necessary for several bodily functions. Copper-containing enzymes play a role in many metabolic processes. Copper is the key mineral in the enzyme which weaves together collagen and elastin and it is involved in energy production. It contributes to iron absorption and works with iron to form red blood cells. Copper also assists in the formation of myelin sheaths – sleeves of fatty tissue that protect your nerve cells. Furthermore, this mineral helps to keep the immune system healthy and to fight against oxidative stress.* Long-term intake of a zinc supplement can affect the copper supply.
