Copper
Copper facts
- Copper is a trace mineral
- High levels of zinc and vitamin C can block copper absorption
- Processed foods may reduce copper absorption
Copper is one of the trace minerals, which means only a small amount of it is required in the diet to ensure good health.
High levels of either zinc or vitamin C can block absorption and therefore blood levels of copper in the body. People taking either of these supplements need to take a copper supplement to enable correct copper levels in the body and balance the levels of all these nutrients to be more normalised.
Processed foods may inhibit the proper absorption of copper, so a diet high in processed foods is not advised, to ensure correct copper absorption.
