COLLOIDAL COPPER
ESSENTIAL TRACE ELEMENT
Copper, though required in small quantities (approximately 2mg daily), plays vital roles in the human body and is an antagonist to iron.
OXYGEN UTILIZATION
Copper converts iron into hemoglobin, facilitating oxygen transport in red blood cells, crucial for preventing anemia.
IMMUNE SUPPORT
Copper strengthens the immune system by promoting the production of white blood cells, helping the body combat infections.
METABOLISM AND ENZYMES
It is a component of enzymes necessary for metabolic processes, facilitating the conversion of nutrients into essential compounds.
ANTIOXIDANT
Colloidal Copper combats free radicals, functioning as an antioxidant, both inside and outside of cells when combined with Colloidal Zinc.
BONES, CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Copper plays a vital role in collagen and elastin formation, providing structure and elasticity to bones, ligaments, and connective tissues.
SKIN AND HAIR HEALTH
Copper is essential for melanin production, which gives color to skin, hair, and eyes. It helps restore gray hair and maintain skin moisture.
HORMONE BALANCE
It contributes to hormone balance, including breaking down excess histamine and activating mood-related neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.
THYROID FUNCTION
Copper, when combined with Zinc, helps balance thyroid activity, addressing issues of under or overfunctioning.
NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
Copper is essential for building and maintaining the myelin layer of nerve cells, crucial for the nervous system's proper function.
INFLAMMATION AND CHRONIC DISEASES
It's recommended for inflammatory conditions, and in ionized form, copper exhibits antibacterial effects.
CAUSES OF DEFICIENCY
A copper deficiency can result from dietary imbalances, absorption issues, chronic intestinal diseases, or prolonged artificial nutrition. Excessive vitamin C intake can also inhibit copper absorption.
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF COPPER DEFICIENCY
Anemia, immune system issues, aneurysms, skin pigment disorders, brittle hair, nervous system problems, inflammation, weak connective tissue, unstable bones, indigestion, weakness, and increased vulnerability to environmental toxins are among the potential outcomes of copper deficiency.
