What is Copper? Copper exists in the body in two forms: cuprous (Cu+) and cupric (Cu2+). The shift between the two forms of copper is really accessible. To interchange between the two types of copper, a reaction must take place to produce energy. Copper is readily found in nuts and shellfish and Public Health England advises adults aged 19-64 years old to consume at least 1.2mg copper daily (PHE, 2016, Government Dietary Recommendations). Benefits of Copper Copper has several uses. Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. As an antioxidant, copper is commonly used to support the normal function of the immune system. The trace mineral also supports normal energy-yielding metabolism and functioning of the nervous system. Lastly, copper is used for normal skin and hair pigmentation, as well as to support the normal transport of iron in the body.
