Copper uses?

Copper is necessary for the normal function of many enzymes.

As part of various enzymes, copper helps transfer iron from storage areas in the body to red blood cells, maintains the health of the cardiovascular system, and is important in making bone and connective tissue.

Copper aids the body's antioxidant defense system through its role in the antioxidants enzyme superoxide dismutase, thus protecting cell membranes from free-radical damage.

Copper helps maintain myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds nerve cells.

Neurotransmitters, chemicals in the brain involved in communication, are made with the help of copper.

Normal hair and skin color requires copper, since this mineral is needed to make coloring agent melanin.
