Our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Acai Berry contain copper, an essential ingredient in the formation of red blood cells.(1) Copper also partners with vitamin C to produce elastin, a protein that is found in all the connective tissue of the body as well as the skin.(2) Copper is also vital in producing the neurotransmitters peptidyl alpha amidating monoxygenase and dopamine hydroxylase.(3)
A deficiency in copper may result in decreased glucose tolerance, anemia, lowered defense against infections, abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and may also lead to heightened glucose, triglycerides and serum cholesterol levels.(4) In addition, copper plays a role in iron metabolism, storage and absorption.(5) The signs of copper deficiency are similar to those of iron deficiency: general malaise, fatigue and lightheadedness.(6), (7)
