Copper Toxicity

Who can have copper overload?

I often see females with high anxiety, chronic fatigue, severe PMS, and depression to be overloaded in copper due to the relationship between copper and estrogen. However, any gender of any age can have this condition and it is an intrinsic part of autism. Copper rises with estrogen and is an essential component of blood vessel formation during pregnancy. Women who have had more than one child are at greater risk of developing copper overload.

Certain subtypes of breast cancer are estrogen-sensitive, making copper toxic females more at risk.

How can we fix it?

Please understand, copper is a very important metal needed for the body to function optimally, including the regulation of iron metabolism but it must be in balance with zinc. The goal is never to “strip” your body of copper but to balance it, which can be safely done through dietary and nutrient therapy, as well as lifestyle modifications.
