Description
What is copper?

First recognized in the 1870's as a normal constituent of blood, copper is a trace mineral that plays an important role in our
metabolism, largely because it allows many critical enzymes to function properly. Although copper is the third most abundant trace
mineral in the body (behind iron and zinc), the total amount of copper in the body is only 75-100 milligrams, less than the amount of
copper in a penny. Copper is present in every tissue of the body, but is stored primarily in the liver, so concentrations of the mineral
are highest in that organ, with lesser amounts found in the brain, heart, kidney, and muscles.

How it Functions
What is the function of copper?

Copper is an essential component of many enzymes. Each of the copper-containing enzymes discussed below has a distinct function,
indicating that copper plays a role in a wide range of physiological processes including iron utilization, elimination of free radicals,
development of bone and connective tissue, and the production of the skin and hair pigment called melanin.
Iron Utilization

Approximately 90% of the copper in the blood is incorporated into a compound called ceruloplasmin, which is a transport protein
responsible for carrying copper to tissues that need the mineral. In addition to its role as a transport protein, ceruloplasmin also acts as
an enzyme, catalyzing the oxidation of minerals, most notably iron.
The oxidation of iron by ceruloplasmin is necessary for iron to be bound to its transport protein (called transferrin) so that it can be
carried to tissues where it is needed. Because copper is necessary for the utilization of iron, iron deficiency anemias may be a
symptom of copper deficiency.
Elimination of Free Radicals

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a copper-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the removal of superoxide radicals from the body.
Superoxide radicals are generated during normal metabolism, as well as when white blood cells attack invading bacteria and viruses (a
process called phagocytosis). If not eliminated quickly, superoxide radicals cause damage to cell membranes. When copper is not
present in sufficient quantities, the activity of superoxide dismutase is diminished, and the damage to cell membranes caused by
superoxide radicals is increased. When functioning in this enzyme, copper works together with the mineral zinc, and it is actually the
ratio of copper to zinc, rather than the absolute amount of copper or zinc alone, that helps the enzyme function properly.
Development of Bone & Connective Tissue

Copper is also a component of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme that participates in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two important
structural proteins found in bone and connective tissue. Tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme, converts tyrosine to melanin, which
is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color.
Melanin Production

As a part of the enzymes cytochrome c oxidase, dopamine hydroxylase, and Factor IV, copper plays a role in energy production, the
conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine and blood clotting, respectively. Copper is also important for the production of the thyroid
hormone called thyroxine and is necessary for the synthesis of phospholipids found in myelin sheaths that cover and protect nerves.

Deficiency Symptoms

What are deficiency symptoms for copper?

Because copper is involved in many functions of the body, copper deficiency produces an extensive range of symptoms. These
symptoms include iron deficiency anemia, ruptured blood vessels, osteoporosis, joint problems, brain disturbances, elevated LDL
cholesterol and reduced HDL cholesterol levels, increased susceptibility to infections due to poor immune function, loss of pigment in
the hair and skin, weakness, fatigue, breathing difficulties, skin sores, poor thyroid function, and irregular heart beat.
Despite the fact that most Americans consume less than recommended amounts of copper in their diet, these symptoms of copper
deficiency are relatively rare. However, certain medical conditions including chronic diarrhea, celiac sprue, and Crohns disease
result in decreased absorption of copper and may increase the risk of developing a copper deficiency. In addition, copper requires
sufficient stomach acid for absorption, so if you consume antacids regularly you may increase your risk of developing a copper
deficiency. Inadequate copper status is also observed in children with low protein intake and in infants fed only cows milk without
supplemental copper.

Toxicity Symptoms
What are toxicity symptoms for copper?

In recent years, nutritionists have been more concerned about copper toxicity than copper deficiency. One explanation for this is the
increase in the amount of copper found in drinking water due to the switch in most areas of the country from galvanized water pipes to
copper water pipes.
Excessive intake of copper can cause abdominal pain and cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and liver damage. In addition, some
experts believe that elevated copper levels, especially when zinc levels are also low, may be a contributing factor in many medical
conditions including schizophrenia, hypertension, stuttering, autism, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, childhood
hyperactivity, depression, insomnia, senility, and premenstrual syndrome.
Postpartum depression has also been linked to high levels of copper. This is because copper concentrations increase throughout
pregnancy to approximately twice normal values, and it may take up to three months after delivery for copper concentrations to
normalize. Since excess copper is excreted through bile, copper toxicity is most likely to occur in individuals with liver disease or
other medical conditions in which the excretion of bile is compromised.
The toxic effects of high tissue levels of copper are seen in patients with Wilsons disease, a genetic disorder characterized by
copper accumulation in various organs due to the inadequate synthesis of ceruloplasmin (the protein that transports copper through the
blood) by the liver. Wilson's disease primarily effects the liver, kidneys, and brain causing degenerative physiological changes
(including cirrhosis of the liver, muscular rigidty and spastic contraction, and emotional disturbances) that are fatal if untreated. The
treatment of Wilsons disease involves avoidance of foods rich in copper and any supplements containing copper and drug
treatment with chelating agents that remove the excess copper from the body.
In 2000, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences established the following Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs)
for copper:

0-12 months: not possible to establish a TUL, sources of copper must be from food and formula only
1-3 years: 1000 micrograms
4-8 years: 1000 micrograms
9-13 years: 5000 micrograms
14-18 years: 8000 micrograms
19 years and older: 10,000 micrograms
Pregnant women 14-18 years: 8000 micrograms
Pregnant women 19 years and older: 10,000 micrograms
Lactating women 14-18 years: 8000 micrograms
Lactating women 19 years and older: 10,000 micrograms

Impact of Cooking, Storage and Processing


How do cooking, storage, or processing affect copper?

The leaching of copper from copper water pipes can increase the copper content of drinking water. Cooking with copper cookware can
also increase the copper content of foods.
Foods that require long-term cooking can also have their copper content substantially reduced. The cooking of navy beans, for
example, can result in the loss of half their original copper content. The processing of whole grains can also dramatically reduce
copper content. In wheat, for example, the conversion of the whole grain into 66% extraction wheat flour (where 34% of the original
grain is removed from the flour and discarded) results in a drop of about 70% in the original copper that was present.
Many vegetables and whole grains now appear to be lower in copper than they were during the mid-1900's. The depletion of copper
from soils is believed to be responsible for this lowered amount of copper.

Factors that Affect Function


Which factors might contribute to a deficiency of copper?

Unlike most minerals, copper appears to undergo absorption up into the body from the stomach. Proper levels of stomach acid are
important for this absorption. For this reason, individuals with compromised stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) may be at increased risk
of copper deficiency.

Because zinc can compete with copper in the small intestine and interfere with its absorption, persons who supplement with
inappropriately high levels of zinc and lower levels of copper may increase their risk of copper deficiency.

Nutrient Interactions
How do other nutrients interact with copper?

Copper is known to react with a variety of other nutrients, including iron, zinc, molybdenum, sulfur, selenium, and vitamin C.
However, with respect to food, we haven't seen research evidence showing that other nutrientsincluding iron and zincinterfere
with absorption of copper. Similarly, while copper is known to interact with a variety of minerals once it has been absorbed up into the
body, we have not seen research showing food-related problems in this regard. The situation is somewhat different, however, when it
comes to dietary supplements that often provide minerals (or vitamins) in much higher doses than can be obtained from food. There's
some evidence, although not conclusive, that zinc supplements, when taken at 50 milligrams or more on a daily basis over an extended
period of time, can lower availability of copper. There's also some evidence (once again not conclusive) that high supplemental doses
of vitamin Cin a range approaching 1,000 milligrams or moremay decrease copper availability. While not applicable to adults,
there is also some evidence that in the formula feeding of infants, too much iron in a formula can lower absorption of copper from that
formula.

Health Conditions

Copper may play a role in the prevention and/or treatment of the following health conditions:

Allergies
Anemia
Baldness
Bedsores
Heart Disease
HIV/AIDS
Hypothyroid disease
Leukemia
Osteoporosis
Periodontal disease
Rheumatoid arthritis

Introduction to Nutrient Rating System Chart
In order to better help you identify foods that feature a high concentration of nutrients for the calories they contain, we created a Food Rating
System. This system allows us to highlight the foods that are especially rich in particular nutrients. The following chart shows the World's
Healthiest Foods that are either an excellent, very good, or good source of copper. Next to each food name, you'll find the serving size we used
to calculate the food's nutrient composition, the calories contained in the serving, the amount of copper contained in one serving size of the
food, the percent Daily Value (DV%) that this amount represents, the nutrient density that we calculated for this food and nutrient, and the
rating we established in our rating system. For most of our nutrient ratings, we adopted the government standards for food labeling that are
found in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "Reference Values for Nutrition Labeling." Read more background information and details of
our rating system.

Herbal Sources of Calcium

The dandelion is a plant naturally rich in calcium.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, according to the National Institutes of Health's Office of Dietary
Supplements. While 99 percent of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth in order to maintain their strength, the
remaining 1 percent is used for other important bodily functions. Calcium is needed to help muscles and blood vessels contract
and expand, to aid in the secretion of hormones and enzymes and to send messages through the nervous system. While an
abundance of calcium-rich food sources exist, many plants and herbs also contain natural concentrations of the mineral.
Many calcium-rich herbs can be found in your backyard or even planted in your garden.

1. Burdock Root
o

The burdock plant is a weed found worldwide. Coarse, heart-shaped leaves give way to prickly flower heads, or
burrs, which easily snag on fabric. While not as popular in Western civilization, the root of the burdock plant is
widely harvested. The root has a mildly sweet yet pungent flavor and contains 61.2 mg calcium for every 125 g. The
calcium in the burdock root helps to purify the blood and balance out hormones.

Dandelion
o

Dandelions, those pesky weeds growing rampant in your yard, are a great source of calcium. In fact, 1 oz. of
dandelion actually has more calcium an ounce of milk. It is the jagged leaves and stems that hold all the calcium,
not the bushy yellow heads. Tender buds sprouting up during the spring are the best to eat. As the season
progresses and summer arrives, the dandelion becomes progressively more bitter. When picking dandelions in the
wild with the intention of eating them, it is important to know whether or not any chemicals have been sprayed in
the surrounding area. One hundred grams of dandelion contains 187 mg of calcium. Calcium from the dandelion
helps promote the flow of blood through your veins and arteries.

Lemongrass
o

Native to the southern part of India, lemongrass is a plant that grows in tufts of long, course blades. Although not
related to the lemon, the plant has a strong citrus odor and taste. Because of this, lemongrass is a popular
ingredient in cuisines all over the world, predominantly in Southeast Asia. Lemongrass can be chopped and served
raw or dried and ground into an herbal powder. One hundred grams of lemongrass contains 65 mg of calcium. The
calcium in the plant helps control heart rate and blood pressure.
