General Information:

• Copper converts the body's iron into hemoglobin which helps form the basic structure of the cell blood cell. It keeps bones, blood vessels, and nerves healthy - and naturally, the immune system relies on these three to keep itself healthy.
  
• Taken with other anti-inflammatories, copper helps to reduce arthritis. Found in shellfish, whole wheat, beans, nuts, seeds, prunes, and liver.
  
• Requirements are 3 mg per day for the pain of arthritis.
