Copper is an essential trace mineral with the highest concentrationexisting in the brain. It is responsible for a variety of enzymaticreactions in the body and deficiency is not common generallybecause 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 antagonistssuch 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 topromptly restore the function of the copper enzymes tyrosinase,lysyl oxidase, and ceruloplasmin.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the copper-containing enzyme responsible for the breakdown ofthe superoxide free radical produced as a by-product of irradiation.
We believe the sebacate form of copper is safer because it generallydoes not lead to free radical generation.
