Copper

Copper is a vital anti-oxidant. It protects the fatty acids found in cell membranes, especially in red blood cells. Copper is an essential part of enzyme & RNA formation and of making healthy bone. It improves vitamin absorption, improves bone health, supports a healthy immune system, and may mitigate pain perception. Copper supports healthy zinc and molybdenum levels in the body. Long-term use of oral contraceptives can create a copper deficiency.
