It’s great to know that copper is a key ingredient in the formation of bones! My knees are starting to lose their form and I want to make sure I do everything I can to avoid a knee replacement. I’ll be sure to find some copper oxide supplements that can help me achieve this goal!

In reply to Greg. I believe there is a doctor up in Alaska that experienced what you're experiencing but it affected his brain. I was watching a show on Netflix about a month or 2 ago and he was talking about it. I don't know if the show was Afflicted or a different one but he resolved the issue, I believe, by getting the implant replaced. He was also trying to warn the medical industry about the side effects of the implant. Good luck.

Any help on how to accelerate the shedding of chromium and cobalt. Until very recently, I had a metal on metal hip implant that I did not realize was giving me metallosis. The damage from these metals can be extensive and permanent. I cant find a specialist in my area who is even familiar with metallosis and I cant find any references on treatment of the condition on the net. I’ve read that chelation and treatments for heavy metals listed in this article do not work for metallosis. Thank you.

I developed harsh neurological problems as a result of zinc supplementation (20 mg on and of for about 3 years) So that you recommend people to supplement zinc without copper is not a good thing, quiet the opposite it can be dangerous.

We need bioavailable copper and this is COPPER-1 (Cu+). Copper-2 (Cu2+) is inorganic and poison for us. Copper-2 works toxic in our organism and is associated with most chronic diseases, as AD, parkinson, ms… ALL copper supplements are poison. MitoSynergy is the one first supplement with copper-1-nicotinat-complex. But the price is expensive. Other good copper source is liver, plants as black sesam and wholefood vitamin c. Wholefood vitamin c have the tyrosinase enzyme in his core and tyrosinase has copper electrons.

For information: plants reduce inorganic copper-2 to copper-1 and making bioavalaible for us.

Your article need a actualization. That’s very important.

There is a mistake in the article:

“”Rats fed a diet containing simple sugar (fructose) developed more severe signs of copper deficiency than did rats fed a diet containing complex sugars (either glucose or starch) (R).””

This statement is incorrect. Glucose is a simple sugar. The actual difference showed in the study, is not between simple and complex. The study merely demonstrates that fructose (simple sugar) was worse than glucose (simple sugar TOO) or starch (complex sugar).

Good article nonetheless. It’s great that you provide the sources.

I am an Iridologist from Mississauga, ON, Canada.
Whats your opinion on the use of copper in the old ages. Some say that iron is an anti nutrient and that humans used to have only 1 blood group as they used to use copper a lot eg in the Egyptian civilization..

Thank you for this comprehensive article on copper. I’m in a group and people are recommending products from this company. I’m still getting my feet wet in this topic, but do believe that gut dysbiosis has led to copper malabsorbtion and is the cause of my neurological problems.
