THIS IS WHY WE’RE BIG FANS OF COPPER!

Your body can't survive without copper. The body uses copper for vital processes, such as creating red blood cells with iron. Copper helps maintain healthy bones, nerves, and blood vessels in the body. Copper helps your bones and tissues repair themselves. It also regulates your metabolism and heart rate, as well as thyroid function. Furthermore, copper supports a healthy immune response and aids iron absorption, and is a daily essential in your diet.

SOME MORE PROS OF COPPER…

FOR THE BRAIN

Copper promotes neuronal signaling, it facilitates the communication between nerve cells. According to one study, people with Alzheimer's disease have 70 percent less copper in their brains, confirming copper deficiency as a cause of this illness. 

The copper in your body protects your spinal cord and the peripheral nerves that control your legs, arms, and feet. Little to no copper intake could result in imbalances.

GOOD FOR THE BONES

Copper contributes to bone density by making cross-links in your bones. It also stimulates osteoblasts, which strengthen bone tissue. Low levels of copper in the body are associated with osteoporosis.

THYROID BENEFITS

Copper supplementation can improve thyroid function because low levels of copper in the blood decrease T3 and T4 concentrations, which regulate metabolic functions. A healthy thyroid system protects you from goiter, helps you maintain a healthy weight, and keeps your heartbeat stable.

FOR THE EYESIGHT

Ocular neuropathy can occur if you are severely deficient in copper. Those who have had gastric bypass surgery need copper supplements to avoid ocular neuropathy since the procedure interferes with its absorption.
