Today we’re going to talk about the amazing benefits of copper. If you have too much zinc, you can deplete your copper reserve. Zinc and copper work together. Anytime you take one of these minerals, you need to take the other one as well. What you really may want to do is take them in a blend of all the trace minerals because you never know what else you might throw out of balance.

1. Copper has powerful effects on brain function

3. Copper is involved in the anti-inflammatory process

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Today we're going to talk about the six amazing benefits of copper. I've done a lot of |
| 0:49.1 | videos on zinc. And if you have too much zinc, you'll deplete your copper reserves. So zinc and copper |
| 0:55.7 | work together. So anytime you take one of those minerals, you better take the other one as well. |
| 1:00.9 | And even more importantly, take those in a blend of all the trace minerals because you never know |
| 1:04.5 | what else you're going to throw out a balance. So copper has some real powerful effects on the brain. |
| 1:13.9 | It helps connect neurons. It also is involved with making neurotransmitters, which are hormone-like communication particles that travel within the |
| 1:19.7 | nervous system, dopamine, GABA, adrenaline, noradrenaline, things like that. And if you don't |
| 1:26.4 | have enough neurotransmitters, it's going to affect your |
| 1:28.5 | mood. Copper is involved in the anti-inflammatory process. I'm not sure exactly why, but it could be |
| 1:36.8 | because copper is part of the vitamin C complex. And it's in an enzyme form, but normally in nature, it's part of the vitamin |
| 1:45.7 | C. And vitamin C is kind of an antioxidant, it's an anti-inflammatory, and it also is important |
| 1:52.9 | in collagen. All right, so copper actually helps support the immune system. If you look at some |
| 1:58.8 | of the serums that people sell for skin, they have, they're copper-based. |
| 2:04.1 | Number six, it supports melanin. Now, melanin is all about the pigment in your hair. So if you're |
| 2:09.2 | actually deficient in copper, you could gray prematurely. Now, what foods are high in copper? |
| 2:16.1 | Oysters, top the list. |
| 2:18.2 | Other types of shellfish, too. |
| 2:20.3 | Beef liver and also organ meats, mushrooms, especially chitake mushrooms. |
| 2:26.7 | And by the way, vitamin C is also in mushrooms. |
