Trophic Copper Amino Acid Chelate. Copper is an essential trace element found in all body tissues. This mineral is a nutritional partner of iron in helping to metabolize food into hemoglobin. It performs critical functions in numerous enzymes such as its catalytic role in the antioxidant superoxide dismutase. As there is less than 100 mg of copper in the body maintaining sufficient levels is extremely important. Copper is most effectively absorbed and assimilated when taken in conjunction with Iron, Zinc, Cobalt and Vitamin C.

Non Chelated copper is poorly absorbed from the intestines and must be properly chelated with amino acids. trophic Copper Chelate is made under specific conditions which are almost identical to the chelates produced in tissue by "Mother Nature". Therefore the body obtains the best possible utilization and absorption of the copper.

Benefits:
Helps to manufacture hemoglobin and facilitates the utilization of oxygen in cells. Increases resistance to stress and disease.
Activates protein building enzymes for development, maintenance and repair of body tissue.
Involved in the formation of myelin, a protective coating around nerve fibers and in the synthesis of elastin which gives vascular tissue its ability to stretch.
Prevents the loss of pigmentation of hair and skin.

Signs of deficiency:
Decreased hemoglobin formation, kwashiorkor, sprue, Nephrotic Syndrome.
