Product insights

  • Copper is an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in energy metabolism and various physiological processes.
  • Copper is crucial for the function of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin, which are vital for the integrity of connective tissues.
  • It plays a key role in iron metabolism by facilitating iron absorption and is necessary for the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
  • Copper is also involved in protein metabolism, RNA production, and the synthesis of phospholipids, which are essential components of myelin sheaths that protect nerve fibers.

Suggested use

From the manufacturer
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 1-2 times daily with meals, or as directed by a health professional.
