Copper Sebacate
The intake of copper as its sebacate salt improves its
bioavailability
Copper is an essential trace mineral with the highest concentration
existing in the brain. It is responsible for a variety of enzymatic
reactions in the body and deficiency is not common generally because
copper water pipes in many homes and copper cookware are sources of
dietary copper. The absorption and utilization of copper can be
hindered by elevated intakes of copper antagonists such as zinc, iron,
vitamin C and fructose sweeteners.
The intake of copper as its
sebacate salt improves its bioavailability. Tests have shown it to be
the only form of copper able to promptly restore the function of the
copper enzymes tyrosinase, lysyl oxidase, and ceruloplasmin. Superoxide
dismutase (SOD) is the copper containing enzyme responsible for the
breakdown of the superoxide free radical produced as a byproduct of
irradiation.*(75 Capsules - 4 mg.)
