Welcome to Copper in Depth

Heath Benefits

Copper is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in various bodily functions. In the following section we will shine a light on why we firmly believe that copper is a key player in our overall well-being.

Cognitive Stimulant

Copper is a brain stimulant that is associated with higher thought processes. Copper opens neural pathways and encourages creativity and improved brain functioning. In short, it makes your brain work faster and more efficiently

Copper and Cardiovascular Disease

A deficiency of copper has been linked to high blood pressure. High blood pressure causes many issues, including damage to arteries and aneurysms. Wearing a copper bracelet has been proven to help lower blood pressure. Of course, high blood pressure cannot be controlled by just wearing a copper bracelet. Proper diet and exercise are also necessary, along with following any doctor's orders.

Anti-inflammatory

Copper can be used to provide relief from aches and pains caused by arthritis or inflamed joints. It also has bone and immune system strengthening properties.

Good Circulation

Copper helps your body absorb iron (from food and other sources in your intestines) and release it as needed to essential organs like the liver. Copper regulates blood flow and improves your circulation by maintaining iron levels in your blood. This aids your body in maintaining a healthy red blood cell count and adequate oxidation in your internal organs.

Antioxidant

Copper is a rich antioxidant that can improve the condition of your skin. It can safeguards your cell membranes from free radicals and helps your skin and joints produce collagen and elastin to promote skin elasticity. Even the Egyptian gods Cleopatra and Nefertiti used copper to stay youthful.

Arthritis

One of the most common claims of the copper bracelet for hundreds of years has been that copper bracelets cure joint pain from conditions like arthritis. This was generally accepted for a long time but along the way doctors and scientists began to doubt the truth behind this claim.

However, in 1983, Australian doctors G.R. Struthers and D.L Scott from the St. George Hospital conducted studies on different alternative methods for relieving arthritis pain. Their results showed that arthritis sufferers noticed significant relief from joint pain when wearing copper bracelets. While they are not exactly sure why, their research showed that using copper bracelets does help relieve arthritis pain.

They concluded that doctors should consider copper bracelets along with other treatment methods for arthritis pain.

Wifi Neutralizer

Did you know that EMF Wi-Fi technology along with portable cordless and cell phones give off the most aggressive form of electro, magnetic radiation, known to man. It interferes with subtle brain waves, and our DNA. The copper neutralizer, which is just a little piece of copper, creates a healthy life force energy’s field that scatters the microwave emissions and makes it healthier to carry your cell phone and use it. The Copper neutralizer also can do RFID blocking. The Copper piece, jams and scrambles signals protecting your personal information from an unauthorized scans.

Copper Deficiency

The human body needs copper to function. Scientists have discovered that the body needs a healthy ratio of copper to zinc in the blood stream. If there is too much zinc and not enough copper, many different health problems can result. The problem is that the body does not need very much copper and even low doses of a copper supplement can be too much. Also, copper supplements that are taken orally can wreak havoc on the digestive system. For this reason, copper bracelets are a good option for people with a copper deficiency. The copper is absorbed directly into the blood stream and in smaller doses, helping to keep the delicate balance of zinc to copper in the body.

How Copper Aids the Body

In the blood stream, copper binds together with enzymes. These enzymes are used to aid in the creation of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is necessary for the body to repair and heal itself. Therefore copper is a vital part of the body's immune system. Without it, the immune system is not working to its full potential. Wearing a copper bracelet can help achieve a healthier immune system.

Copper and its master protein, ceruloplasmin, are instrumental for mitochondrial function. Ceruloplasmin is what drives copper into the mitochondria, and each mitochondrion needs about 50,000 atoms of copper to do its work.

Copper is an essential micronutrient that has numerous health, wellness and beauty benefits, from improved appearance of skin, to treatment of wounds and skin conditions, and also aids in maintaining metabolic processes, among countless other health benefits. 

Your body does not produce copper naturally, so you must add it to your body from external sources. Copper is found in many foods that you eat, including beans, nuts and seeds, seafood such as oysters, leafy greens, whole grains, soy, beets, avocados and cocoa.

Your body stores copper in your bones and muscles. You can also introduce copper to your body by drinking water from copper vessels or wearing copper jewelry.

 Wound healing: Copper is involved in the production of collagen, a protein essential for wound healing. Some believe that wearing copper-infused products can promote faster healing of wounds, cuts, and bruises.
