The essential mineral copper is required for optimal metabolism, a healthy immune system and healthy hair and skin. Copper is found in all the tissues of the body and it plays a role in the creation of red blood cells as it helps with transporting iron into the cells. Having adequate levels of copper will also aid towards the functioning of the immune system and it will help protect your cells from oxidative stress and damage by free radicals.
When your diet is rich in zinc, it is even more important that you make sure of an adequate intake of copper as zinc works as an antagonist towards this vital mineral.
Chelated Copper provides copper in a unique and highly absorbable chelated form, which delivers minerals with the highest absorption and utilisation rates because the chelate takes the minerals directly into the cells.
