Copper (Cu) concerning Wilson’s disease
Copper (Cu) is involved in the metabolism of various proteins and enzymes. Collagen is one such protein. Copper is a key component of cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones determining the elasticity and firmness of skin and is involved in healing processes. Taken together with zinc and vitamin C, copper strengthens the skin and helps maintain its elasticity.
Copper is important for the formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells; it helps to assimilate iron and is involved in the synthesis of melanin.
