Do you know what a bio-element is? It is an element that essential for the normal development of plant and animal life. You know that leaves need chlorophyll to prepare food for the plant. Copper is essential for plants, for without it, the chlorophyll content of leaves would be reduced, turning them yellow. The plant would not be able to bear fruits, and it would die.
Copper is necessary for animal life and human life too. Copper is instrumental for infant growth, bone strength, red and white blood cell maturation, iron transport, cholesterol and glucose metabolism, heart muscle contraction, and brain development. On the other hand, copper deficiency can lead to health problems such as anemia, heart and circulation problems, bone abnormalities and complications in the functioning of the nervous and immune system, the lungs, thyroid, pancreas and kidneys!
