NOTE: Copper contributes to skin and hair by helping you make melanin, the brown-black pigment that helps protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Zinc helps cells in your body communicate with each other, aiding in nerve communication and hormone regulation. Copper and Zinc work together in processes such as immune response, nervous system function, and healthy digestion. They are antagonists, meaning that levels of one decreases the other increases and vice versa.

Q: Can I take Zinc and Copper at night?
A: Zinc is often part of multivitamins but is also taken alone or in combination with vitamin C. Its absorption is most effective on an empty stomach, but it can cause stomach upsets. In this case it should be taken with a meal and therefore not late at night.

Q: Why do Zinc and Copper work well together?
A: Both Zinc and Copper are needed for an important antioxidant enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD) that helps to fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress; the ratio between the 2 is vital for keeping this enzyme functioning optimally.

Q: What is Copper's function in my body?
A: Copper is a mineral that is found throughout your body. It helps your body make red blood cells and keeps nerve cells and your immune system healthy. It also helps form collagen, a key part of bones and connective tissue.

Q: What are signs of possible Copper deficiency?
A: Many people do not get enough Copper in their diet, but it is rare to be truly deficient in Copper. Signs of possible Copper deficiency include anaemia, low body temperature, bone fractures and osteoporosis, low white blood cell count, irregular heartbeat, loss of pigment from the skin, and thyroid problems.
