Cardiovascular Health
Sufficient copper in your diet is necessary for a good cardiovascular health. Insufficient or low copper in the body have been traced to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. A group of researchers have also suggested that copper supplements may be helpful to some patients with heart failure.
Studies done on animals have linked low copper levels to CVD, but it is still uncertain if deficiency will have the same impact on humans.
Immune Health
Low copper in the body can lead to a condition known as neutropenia, [3] a deficiency of white blood cells or neutrophils, which fights off infection. When you have a low level of neutrophils you will be at a higher risk of an infectious disease.
