Copper is an essential trace mineral that plays crucial roles in various bodily functions, including neurotransmitter production, iron metabolism, immune function, bone health, energy metabolism and growth.

However, excessive copper levels in the body can lead to copper overload toxicity, a condition that can have serious health consequences. Copper in excess acts like a heavy metal and alters the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, which can contribute to poor mental health and traits of ADHD and Autism.
