Aliness Chelated Copper is a formula that enriches the diet with copper - a micronutrient essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It contains copper in a perfectly absorbable chelate form. In addition, it has only a minimum of technological additives in its composition, and is free from gluten, lactose and GMOs. The tablets are small enough to make supplementation comfortable. The product can be used by people on vegan and vegetarian diets.
Copper belongs to the group of trace elements, is present in the active centers of many enzymes and plays a key role in the proper functioning of many metabolic pathways. Its excess is toxic, but deficiency can be just as problematic. The need for copper should be met by the diet, but it must be well balanced, and should abound in offal, seafood, dried fruits, nuts, sesame seeds, as these are the best sources of this element.
Copper supports energy production in the cell. It is an important component of cytochrome c oxidase, which is the last protein of the respiratory chain.
Copper is involved in the removal of free radicals. It is part of the superoxide dismutase SOD-1, which is one of the key elements in protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Copper supports the formation of collagen and elastin. Thus, it contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues.
Copper participates in the synthesis of catecholamines. It is present in the structure of dopamine β-monooxygenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine.
Copper conditions the production of melanin. It is located in the catalytic active center of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for the proper course of melanogenesis. As a result, copper helps maintain normal skin and hair pigmentation.
In summary, Chelated Copper is a source of highly bioavailable copper, which, as a micronutrient, is essential for maintaining the body's homeostasis.
