Copper Bracelet Benefits
Copper is an essential element for plants and animals. The human body contains a trace amount of copper, which supports the absorption of vitamin C and iron. A plasma protein called ceruloplasmin carries copper in the bloodstream to aid in the formation of red blood cells.
Additionally, copper is vital for the pigmentation of the eyes, skin, and hair. Melanocytes works in tandem with tyrosinase, a cuproenzyme derived from copper, to produce melanin, a polymer used for pigmentation. As a result, copper protects hair against graying. Moreover, copper preserves the color of the eyes. It also helps with the formation of protective tissues, aids in the synthesis of collagen and myelin, and defends the myelin sheath that encloses the nerve. In addition, copper helps in the production of elastin, an element of the skin that maintains its flexibility, making it less prone to wrinkles. Copper is a strong antioxidant that helps prevent premature aging.
Studies also suggest that copper eases joint discomfort. Copper absorbed through the skin may leave a green stain that is easily removed using soap and water.
Other Benefits of Copper
Known for its antimicrobial properties, copper kills bacteria by causing their outer membrane to rupture. This causes holes that leak out the cell's vital nutrients, thereby weakening it.
Copper, zinc, iron, and selenium are considered vital for the thyroid function.
Research suggests that copper helps increase the level of good cholesterol (HDL) while reducing the level of bad cholesterol (LDL). This lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues such as atherosclerosis and stroke. In addition, studies suggest an inverse relationship between the amount of copper found in blood and cholesterol levels. The lower the copper content in the bloodstream, the higher the cholesterol level, and vice versa.
