Copper supplements

Copper is a trace element, which means it cannot be broken down into component parts. It is common in food products and the human body, where it is used to absorb and process iron. In addition, Copper is a component of the antioxidantenzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD). It is necessary to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the fuel that the body uses to function. Various hormone production processes use copper, and it is also used in the production of collagen. Copper is needed for the proper operation of tyrosinase too, which is involved in the creation of skin pigment.

It has been demonstrated that taking copper in the form of a vitamin stimulates the amount of SOD in the human body. The majority of the population does not get quite enough copper in their diet.
