Copper is essential in all plants and animals. Copper is carried mostly in the bloodstream in a plasma protein called ceruloplasmin. In the human body, Copper is found in a variety of enzymes, including the copper centres of cytochrome c oxidase and the enzyme superoxide dismutase (containing copper and zinc). In addition to its enzymatic roles, copper is used for biological electron transport. Because of its role in facilitating iron uptake, copper deficiency can often produce anemia-like symptoms (deficiency of red blood cells and/or haemoglobin). This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, causing tissue hypoxia. Signs of possible copper deficiency include anaemia, low body temperature, bone fractures and osteoporosis, low white blood cell count (the cells that help fight infection), irregular heartbeat, loss of pigment from the skin, and thyroid disorders. Please note:
Wearing Copper Bracelets / Bangle may leave green stain on your skin. This is normal because copper is absorbed from your magnetic bracelet though your skin. About Copper:
Copper is a reddish-colour metal, which has its characteristic colour because it reflects red and orange light and absorbs other frequencies in the visible spectrum, due to its band structure. Copper occupies the same family of the periodic table as silver and gold, since they each have one s-orbital electron on top of a filled electron shell. This similarity in electron structure makes them similar in many characteristics. All have very high thermal and electrical conductivity, and all are malleable metals. |
