About Copper
info from the
Office of Dietary Supplements of the
National Institutes of Health
Copper is a trace mineral that is part of several enzymes and proteins that are essential for adequate use of iron by the body. Copper works with iron to help the body form red blood cells. It also helps keep the blood vessels, nerves, immune system, and bones healthy.
While abnormally low levels of blood copper is rarely seen in the US population, low copper intake has been linked to risk of high cholesterol, a possible risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Copper toxicity is rare in the US population. Due to the difficulty in measurement of copper status, the many factors such as
zinc, carbohydrate and vitamin C intake that affect copper bioavailability, the Subcommittee on the Tenth Edition of the RDAs could not establish a RDA for copper and instead recommended a safe and adequate range of copper intake.
Most multivitamin dietary supplements on the market today include 2 mg of copper which is the midpoint of the Safe and Adequate Range of Intake recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine.
