Liquid Copper
Importance and deficiencies:Copper is an essential trace mineral in human nutrition. Deficiency states can be accompanied by Anemia, decreased white blood cell count, and osteoporosis. Symptoms may also include abnormal glucose tolerance, arthritis, myocardial disease, arterial disease, and neurologic problems. Some people who were deficient in copper have found relief from the above symptoms after their intake was adjusted. The evidence appears strongest in regards to cardiovascular disease and immunity. Copper deficiency has also been shown to increase the vulnerability to infections, and their severity. We also now know that copper is required for normal infant development, red and white blood cell maturation, iron transport, bone strength and cholesterol metabolism. Copper deficiency has been observed in premature infants and infants suffering from malnutrition. Overt symptoms in adults are rare, but may occur with long term shortage or, possibly, in those who consume zinc supplements for a period of time.
