Copper LIPOSOMIA / Cuivre LIPOSOMIA - 30 caps.

Copper LIPOSOMIA / Cuivre LIPOSOMIA - 30 caps.

A dietary supplement consisting of liposomal copper.

Copper contributes to;

• the protection of cells against oxidative stress,
• the maintenance of connective tissue,
• the normal transport of iron in the body,
• the normal energy metabolism,
• the normal pigmentation of the skin and hair.

Copper contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, as well as the normal functioning of the nervous system.

The exclusive liposomal technology in dry form allows for better stability and bioavailability of the active ingredients.

Copper as a Nutrient

Copper is an essential nutrient for the activity of various antioxidant enzymes, which protect cells from oxidative damage and contribute to cardiovascular health.

It is necessary for the absorption of iron, making it an indispensable mineral for preventing anemia.

Functions of Copper

• Copper facilitates the absorption and transport of iron, contributing to the prevention of anemia.
• It is essential for the formation of collagen and elastin, promoting healthy skin, joints, and blood vessels.
• It acts enzymatically to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative damage to cells.
• It participates in the production of neurotransmitters and the maintenance of cognitive function.
• It is essential for cellular metabolism, as it is involved in the synthesis of ATP, the body's main source of energy.

Foods Rich in Copper

Copper is an essential mineral for numerous biological functions in the body. Although needed in small amounts, it plays a key role in cellular metabolism, red blood cell formation, energy production, and collagen synthesis.

It is widely distributed in foods, especially organ meats, seafood, nuts, and legumes.

The human body cannot synthesize copper, so its supply depends exclusively on the diet. The recommended daily intake (RDI) of copper for adults ranges from 900 to 1,300 micrograms (µg), depending on age and sex.

A copper deficiency can impair hemoglobin production, weaken the immune system, and cause neurological disorders. On the other hand, excess copper can be toxic and have adverse effects on the liver and nervous system.

Copper deficiency is rare in healthy people with a balanced diet, but it can occur in cases of intestinal malabsorption, very restrictive diets, or gastrointestinal surgery.

Copper deficiency can cause iron-resistant anemia, as this mineral is essential for iron absorption and utilization. It can also cause fatigue, muscle weakness, bone changes, pale skin, and capillary fragility.

In severe cases, neurological symptoms such as coordination problems, limb weakness, and cognitive difficulties have been observed.
