COPPER
As explained in my previous post, Zinc should be balanced with Copper. We also need to know that Zinc and Copper antagonized each other, if we take a lot of Zinc, we will reduce the copper in our body, and which can be very harmful to the body.
A deficiency in copper is to a decrease in energy production, decline in immune function and lower concentration.Copper like Iron need to be properly and carefully controlled.

Too much copper can cause oxidative damage to your tissues. Therefore, please look for it on the label of your multivitamin/multimineral supplement.
You can also get it from whole grain bread, cereal, nuts, beans, peas, and dark green leafy vegetables.

A good comprehensive multivitamin should have about 2 milligrams of copper, and it should be properly balanced with 30 milligrams of Zinc.
And in addition to the above mentioned, Zinc, copper and manganese are part of one of the most potent antioxidant enzymes in our body called super oxide dismutase (SOD).
It is important to have adequate zinc, manganese and copper on a daily basis to assure adequate amounts of SOD.
SOD then helps prevent damage to our cell membranes and our mitochondria membranes.
