Procobre Perú - Cooper and Health

¿WHAT HAPPENS IF OUR BODY IS LACKING IN COOPER?

Copper intervenes in more than one hundred processes carried out by the enzymes as auxiliary to their work. That is why it is said that copper is a coenzyme.

Ceruloplasmin, lysiloxidase and thyroxine are three enzymes that contain copper and intervene in important processes. Let us see what would happen if they did not carry out their work normally.

ENZIMA	Ceruloplasmina
ACTION	Facilitates transformation of the iron which forms the hematites that transport hemoglobin
FUNCTION	Oxygenates tissue
ITS LACK CAUSES	Anemia
ENZIMA	Lisiloxidasa
ACTION	Participates in the forming of collagen
FUNCTION	Makes cartilage
ITS LACK CAUSES	Bone brittleness
ENZIMA	Tiroxina
ACTION	Transforms thyroxine into methanine
FUNCTION	Protects the skin from burns
ITS LACK CAUSES	Lack of protection against ultraviolet rays.

OTHER BENEFITS TO OUR HEALTH

Apart from the already mentioned benefits: Copper favors normal operation of the cardiovascular system, protecting the heart muscle and propitiating the formation of elastin, a protein that provides elasticity to blood vessels. It is useful in the treatment of some types of arthritis. Many patients who use copper bracelets show notable improvement. Copper is dissolved by perspiration and absorbed through the skin to carry out its therapeutic action. Copper stimulates the immunological system since it participates in the formation of white cells that ensure protection against microbes that attack the organism. They facilitate absorption of vitamins in the intestines
