Copper

Copper is an essential trance mineral that helps support many functions in the body and is important to the healing process. In the body, Copper metabolizes iron, helping to produce red blood cells. Copper also promotes the formation of hair, skin pigmentation, elastin and collagen. Slow healing sores, anemia, impaired respiration, changes in hair color and texture (not graying), and reduced skin elasticity may be signs of Copper deficiency.
