Improves Gut Health
Copper helps stimulate peristalsis, the contraction and relaxation of stomach muscles, which moves waste products through the intestines and out of the body. A clean gut is important for our overall health and in absorbing the nutrients needed to facilitate this. Drinking copperized water in the morning on an empty stomach detoxifies and cleanses the digestive system.
Anti-inflammatory
Copper helps kill harmful inflammation in the body, improving ulcers, indigestion, and infections.
Its anti-inflammatory properties also helps relieve aches and pains caused by inflamed joints seen in conditions such as in arthritis.
Improves Brain Health
Copper helps combat Alzheimer’s disease as it is needed to make phospholipids. This type of fat is used to give cells form and to build a protective barrier. These lipids help the function of the electrical impulses in our brain that facilitate the control of our bodily movements, as well as assisting with memory storage.
Improves Liver Health
A healthy amount of copper helps to keep from a deficiency that appears to be a factor in Non-Alcoholic Fatty-Liver Disease (NAFLD), a syndrome where fat cells replace healthy cells in the liver, causing other metabolic problems.
Increases Energy
Copper helps make an important enzyme in the body called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is essentially, energy.
Copper also helps the body facilitate red blood cell production and helps to absorb, use, and maintain iron — preventing anemia.
Antioxidants, Skin, and Hair
Copper has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help decrease free radicals, which are harmful to the immune system and can cause cancer. Drinking water from a copper cup routinely can boost your antioxidants and, therefore, boost your immune system and decrease your risk of cancer.
Additionally, copper is used by enzymes to make melanin, the pigment that creates our skin, hair, and eye colors.
Skin
The enzymes in our bodies use copper to produce new cells, particularly skin cells. This process slows down signs of aging. Since copper also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, copper helps wounds heal faster.
Hair
Melanin and collagen production improve the skins elasticity and prevents wrinkles. Copper also improves circulation at the hair follicle level, which promotes hair growth. Having enough copper in the body may help your hair stay lush longer, and slow graying.
