THE TOP 10 COLLOIDAL COPPER BENEFITS & USES

Top 10 Benefits and Uses of Colloidal Copper

Copper is essential when it comes to maintaining balance in our bodily functions. It is just as important for proper organ functions and metabolic processes. Being one of the fundamental trace elements which our body cannot create on its own, copper should be taken through supplements. Some of the different food sources from which we can derive our needed dose of copper include: liver, meat, seafood, beans, whole grains, soy flour, wheat bran, almonds, garlic, nuts, oats, molasses, beets and lentils. In some cases, copper can also be absorbed by drinking water that passes through copper lines and by using copper cookware.

How Colloidal Copper Works:

Due to the fact that most people are not always keen on eating copper-rich food, an issue that often leads to a deficiency, colloidal copper supplements are a much needed source. Colloidal copper supplements comes in nano-copper particles which have a much higher absorption rate than average. Copper is absorbed at a cellular level which then combats the deficiency and also boosts the immune system. Most of the copper in our body is usually found in the liver, brain, kidneys, heart and skeletal muscle. It plays a major role in formation of collagen, increases iron absorption and energy production.

TOP 10 BENEFITS OF COPPER:

1)May Assist in Diabetes Treatment

According to scientists’ reports, type 2 diabetes is often brought about by the oxidation of cells lacking essential metals which help insulate the cells and protect them from free radicals. Free radicals attack healthy cells and mutate the DNA. One study shows that copper deficiency or abnormal absorption of copper damages cellular defenses and body tissues, leading to the onset of diabetes. 
 

2)Proper Growth and Health

 
Copper is vital for good health and normal growth. It helps in the protection of skeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Having a copper deficiency means that the normal and healthy growth of your organs and tissues would be hindered. For pregnant women who have copper deficiency, it is possible for the fetus to be underdeveloped.Studies show that copper deficiency may even result to birth defects and for babies to develop prematurely which is very common in third world countries.
 

 

3)Hair and Eyes Pigmentation

 
One of the vital components of the natural dark pigment, melanin, which gives coloration to the skin, hair and eyes is copper. Melanin is produced by melanocyte—but only with the aid of the cuproenzyme called tyrosinase, which is derived from copper. Copper is also known to help in preventing the graying of hair. It also aids in maintaining the color of your eyes as you age along with zinc. In fact, copper is known to be an anti-aging element.
 
 

4)Brain Stimulation

Copper is known to be a brain stimulant which is why copper-rich food is also often called “Brain Food”. Studies have shown that out of the box thinking and creativity is linked directly to the copper content of the brain, showing that it enables neutral pathways to develop in unique ways. This enhances your cognitive ability and the ability to process information more quickly.
 
 

5)Boosts Immunity and Energy

 
By boosting the production of red blood cells, copper prevents the development of anemia which is one of the major reasons of energy drainage. Along with iron, it also boosts energy by extracting carbohydrates from the cells and use it to its full potential. Copper is also a vital part of the body’s healing process. It serves as an immunity builder, prevents and cures anemia enabling your body to both defend and heal itself faster.
 
 

6)Connective Tissues

 
To produce hemoglobin, collagen, myelin (protective layer of skin) and melanin, our body uses copper. These help when it comes to the development and maintenance of connective tissues. Copper also helps in the production of elastin which keeps skin flexible. This keeps skin from sagging, looking older, less prone to wrinkles and premature aging.
 
 

7)Enzymatic Reactions

 
Our body goes through many processes in order to stay alive and healthy. Some of these enzyme producing processes facilitate copper so that the body can function efficiently. Without these enzymatic processes in many of our organs, our body may cease to function all together. The metabolism will slow down, hormonal levels would be thrown off. This causes its own domino effect of unnatural reactions.
 

8)Absorption of Iron and Sugar

 
In order for iron to be absorbed by the body and prevent it from being filtered out of the liver, your body requires copper.This is important because iron helps your body produce red blood cells and ensures oxygen is being delivered throughout your organs. Having an iron deficiency makes you experience weakness, bruising, digestive issues, fatigue and you may develop anemia. Bottom line is that for all other minerals and elements to be absorbed and utilized, copper is essential.
 
 

9)Reduces Cholesterol

 
Copper deficiency is known to contribute when it comes to the increase of cholesterol levels in the body. According to a number of different studies, copper is found to have the ability to reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and helps increase ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL cholesterol). This lowers the chances of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks, strokes and atherosclerosis.
 
 

10)Thyroid Gland

 
Copper plays an important roles in ensuring that the thyroid gland functions properly. That said, an excess in copper in our body can also causes a major malfunction in the thyroid gland. When your thyroid gland does not work properly, the production of your hormones may cause unwarranted effects on your overall body’s metabolic processes as well as heart and digestive function, muscle control, brain development and bone maintenance.Copper and zinc works in conjunction with each other. These two elements should be balanced for everything to function properly. It may be essential, but just like all other vitamins and minerals, copper should be taken in moderation. You need to be mindful of your body’s require dosage and that you’re getting it from proper sources. Remember, balance is key here.
