Helps With Iron Absorption
The body needs copper to absorb iron from the diet and to form red blood cells. It helps the body absorb iron so it can be used to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your blood. It also helps your body use vitamin C, which is important for immunity and wound healing. A lack of copper can lead to anemia and other health problems. (3)
Aids in weight loss
A new study has shown that copper could help with weight loss. The study found that rats who were given copper supplements lost more weight than those who weren’t. It helps the body to break down fat and convert it into energy. It also helps to regulate metabolism and appetite. This new study shows that it could also be helpful in losing weight.
The study’s lead author says that more research is needed to confirm these results, but if they are confirmed, it could be a “simple and safe” way to help people lose weight.
