Copper
A trace mineral present in all body tissues that helps with red blood cell formation and the function of enzymes that produce energy at the cellular level.
What is Copper?
It may be considered a “trace” mineral, but its role in supporting health is considerable. Copper is an essential mineral that works with iron to help the body form red blood cells. In relation to other nutrients, your body only needs a small amount of copper—but that little dose accomplishes quite a bit.*
Why is Copper Important?
Copper is required for the proper function of enzymes that produce energy at the cellular level, and in the formation of connective tissue that supports the heart, blood vessels, and bones.*
