Copper deficiency
Copper is one of the trace minerals like Chromium that is essential to maintain your body’s function. Copper plays an important role in energy production, and the production of haemoglobin, connective tissues (e.g., collagen) and brain chemical messengers. The recommended daily dietary intake of Copper for adults is 900 mcg (men and non-pregnant women).
You should only take a Copper supplement when you have a Copper deficiency or are unable to take sufficient Copper from your diet. Copper deficiency can cause loss of colour in the hair and skin, anaemia (low iron blood levels), high cholesterol levels, osteoporosis and increased risk of infections.
