Copper
Taken
with large amounts of Zinc
2 mg 100 capsules, Code 119, $5.95
Most people receive
sufficient amounts of the mineral copper in their diet, and too much
copper can produce free radicals in a similar manner to iron. However,
individuals consuming over 50 mg of zinc daily and/or a high level of
fructose are advised to supplement their diet with 2 mg copper several
times per week. Copper is required by the body to convert iron into
hemoglobin, and is an essential constituent of many important body enzymes
including a form of superoxide dismutase, a major cellular antioxidant
that cannot be supplemented directly.
