Eidon Ionic Minerals Copper

Eidon Ionic Minerals Copper provides support for many processes throughout the body including the formation of collagen and red blood cells. It works with vitamin C to form elastin, aiding in the formation of strong veins and arteries, as well as all connective tissue.

• Supports bones, nerves, blood clotting and digestion
• Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-free
• Gentle on stomach

Copper is essential for both Iron and Zinc utilization, as well as for maintaining a strong cardiovascular system. Copper, along with Iron, is necessary to produce hemoglobin - the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen from the lungs to all the cells in the body. Copper is necessary for normal development and maintenance of blood, bone, nerves, connective and other tissues.

Copper parallels iron. Iron is the essential element in hemoglobin. But, without copper, iron is not transported correctly throughout the body. Iron depends upon copper to become part of the red blood cells, therefore anemia results from a lack of iron and copper. The body can't metabolize iron without the help it gets from copper. As blood levels of copper drop, iron absorption decreases, red blood cell production is inhibited, and anemia develops.

Copper contributes to the structural integrity of connective tissue throughout the body. Collagen, the protein responsible for bone, skin, cartilage, and tendon elasticity, integrity, and strength, requires copper for proper reproduction. It is an important component of elastin (the connective tissue that gives elasticity to the blood vessels, lungs, and skin, allowing them to move and stretch with changes in pressure or movement). Copper activates numerous enzymes and is involved in the development and maintenance of the cardiovascular system, the skeletal system and the structure and function of the nervous system.
