Solgar Chelated Copper 100 Tablets
What is Solgar Chelated Copper?
Copper is an essential trace mineral. It is essential for the formation of collagen that helps support connective tissues like skin, bone, cartilage, and tendons. This formulation provides a patented highly bioavailable form of chelated copper.
Copper is found in all the tissues of the body and it plays a role in the creation of red blood cells as it helps with transporting iron into the cells. Having adequate levels of copper will also aid in the functioning of the immune system and it will protect your cells from oxidative stress and damage by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the cells in your body and are associated with premature ageing. Copper also benefits a healthy metabolism as it assists the body with converting food into energy.
Copper cannot be made by the body itself and therefore has to be consumed through a healthy and varied diet, containing copper-rich foods such as liver, nuts and seeds, seafood and beans. When your diet is rich in zinc, it is even more important that you make sure of an adequate intake of copper as zinc works as an antagonist towards this vital mineral.
