Copper

Copper/Nutrient Depletion:

  • FolateFolate: Based on human study, long-term high-copper intake may slightly decrease plasma concentrations of folate (24).
  • MagnesiumMagnesium: Based on clinical study, serum copper levels may affect serum magnesium levels, and serum magnesium levels may affect serum copper levels (79).
  • SeleniumSelenium: Based on animal studies, copper may reduce serum selenium levels (22; 23).
