Description
Copper and Zinc. Copper is essential to human health. The importance of copper has been overlooked by its antagonist, zinc. When we supplement large doses of zinc (i.e. 50 mg or higher) in the interest of supporting a health condition, it competes with dietary copper for uptake into the bloodstream and can result in copper deficiency. This can affect oxygen utilization, immune function, repair and maintenance of connective tissue, and more. Copper and Collagen. Copper is essential for the body to manufacture collagen, the structural protein that comprises most of our tissues---including skin, joint cartilage, muscles, bones and blood vessels. Combined with the ever-important vitamin, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), copper can be utilized to manufacture our own collagen. This is significant to vegetarians as a way of supplying the building blocks for collagen without the use of animal products, but also to meat-eaters who are looking to support their joints, muscles, and skin. Copper and the Blood. Iron is the key nutrient responsible for good oxygen-carrying capacity. However, without adequate copper, iron supplementation alone may not restore ferritin and hemoglobin levels. Taking lots of iron while being low in copper can mean continued fatigue, light-headedness and poor stamina for the anemic individual, leaving that person wondering if their iron supplement is any good. In addition, zinc-induced copper deficiency can lead to neutropenia---a condition of having a low white blood cell count. The complication of this scenario includes decreased resistance to bacterial infections---and reduces the ability to fight them off once they’ve started. At just one milligram per capsule, it provides flexibility for use as replenishment of copper levels with two capsules daily and for maintenance at just one capsule daily.
  • HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM: Low copper intake has been shown to reduce the number of white blood cells, which can make a person more vulnerable to infection. Maintaining copper levels in the body may help with the production of white blood cells and in supporting your immune system.
  • COLLAGEN PRODUCTION: Collagen is the main structural component between connective tissues and bones. Sufficient levels of copper help the body to replace damaged connective tissues and the collagen needed to hold bones together. Copper is also a powerful antioxidant helping to prevent skin aging.
  • CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Copper may help to reduce the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and help to increase beneficial HDL (good) cholesterol. This lowers the chances of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.
  • BONE DENSITY PROTECTION: Severe copper deficiency has been linked to a greater risk of osteoporosis and decreases in bone density. Copper has been shown to have a positive impact on our bone health, acting as an important mineral in the normal growth and development of the skeletal system.
  • IMPROVED IRON Metabolism:  Iron is the key nutrient responsible for good oxygen-carrying capacity. However, without adequate copper, iron supplementation alone may not restore ferritin and hemoglobin levels. Copper supports ferritin and hemoglobin production, working with iron to improve energy levels.
