Liquid Copper

Copper is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in the body’s use of iron and zinc, as well as in the formation of connective tissue. It is also involved in the production of hemoglobin—the component of red blood cells that helps transport oxygen throughout the body.

Copper and iron work together synergistically. While iron is a key element in hemoglobin, copper helps support the proper distribution and utilization of iron within the body. Adequate copper levels are important for balanced iron metabolism and healthy red blood cell production.

Copper also contributes to the structure and maintenance of connective tissue, including collagen and elastin—proteins that help maintain the strength and flexibility of skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. It is involved in numerous enzyme functions and supports the normal development and maintenance of the cardiovascular, skeletal, and nervous systems.*

Foods naturally rich in copper include: oysters, shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, organ meats, dark leafy greens, cocoa, black pepper, and yeast.
