Copper is an element that is found in small quantities in the human body, especially in the liver, kidneys, brain and heart. It can be found naturally in the environment and in some foods of animal origin, such as liver, dried fruit, some seeds, whole grains and legumes. The presence of copper in the body is essential to allow the correct functioning of various enzymes and allows the production of red blood cells, bones and connective tissues. Copper gluconate helps the synthesis of melanin and is therefore involved in skin and hair pigmentation. It is antioxidant and protects the skin from damage caused by the action of free radicals.
