What is Copper?

Copper is an essential trace mineral that serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes critical to human health. These cuproenzymes are involved in energy production (cytochrome c oxidase), connective tissue formation (lysyl oxidase), neurotransmitter synthesis (dopamine β-hydroxylase), iron metabolism (ceruloplasmin), antioxidant defence (superoxide dismutase), and pigmentation (tyrosinase). Copper is present in all body tissues but is concentrated in the liver, brain, heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscle.

Copper works in close partnership with iron — the copper-dependent enzyme ceruloplasmin is essential for mobilising iron from storage sites, making it available for red blood cell production. Copper and zinc also interact through shared transport proteins, which is why balanced supplementation that respects their physiological ratio is important. The body's copper content is regulated primarily through absorption and excretion rather than storage, making consistent dietary intake valuable.

EFSA-approved health benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has confirmed that copper:

• contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
• contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
• contributes to normal hair and skin pigmentation
• contributes to normal iron transport in the body
• contributes to the normal function of the immune system
• contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
• contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues
