The Science

Copper is integral to various enzymatic processes in the body. One of its primary roles is in the formation of zinc superoxide dismutase, an enzyme crucial for the immune system and energy production. When there's a lack of copper, it can result in lethargy and increased susceptibility to infections. This element also plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, haemoglobin and collagen. A balanced intake, typically from the diet, ensures the body's myriad functions dependent on copper continue seamlessly.

How will I know its working?

Symptoms of deficiency should gradually recede. One may observe increased energy levels, better hair and skin pigment, and overall enhanced vitality. Regular tests can further confirm increased copper levels in the body.

When to take it?

Take 1 tablet daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
