Copper (as Copper Gluconate)

Copper Benefits at a Glance:

  • Essential for forming myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells
  • Supports healthy neurotransmitter production and function
  • Critical for energy production in nerve cells

Copper contributes to nervous system function through its involvement in myelin formation, which is the protective coating around your nerves. It also plays a role in mood and motivation by influencing neurotransmitter levels (such as serotonin and dopamine), which are the chemical messengers that allow nerve cells to communicate effectively.

Some studies suggest low levels of copper (which also must be balanced with zinc and manganese) is linked to depression and anxiety.

Why It’s Included

For its fundamental role in maintaining nervous system function and neurotransmitter production (when combined with zinc and manganese), which can help improve mood, motivation and energy. In addition to ensuring optimal nerve signaling, copper also helps with iron metabolism, immune support and collagen production for healthy skin, bones and joints.
