Copper is one of the most important trace minerals which are essential for maintaining a proper health of all living things. Copper is required for the proper functioning of all the organs as well as the metabolic processes. Copper is also a vital trace element which is required by the enzyme systems (enzymes are responsible for several metabolic activities necessary for sustaining life). For instance, enzymes are necessary during the cellular activity for cell regulation and signal transduction.<\/p>\n

A research conducted on copper metabolism and human health indicated that increased level of copper in the body might be responsible for health disorders such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Heart diseases<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hypotension<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Postpartum depression<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Premenstrual tension<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Childhood hyperactivity and autism<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Paranoid and hallucinatory schizophrenias<\/strong><\/p>\n

The homeostatic mechanism of the human body is complex and tries to ensure a constant supply of copper while eradicating the excess copper whenever possible. However like any other nutrient or element, too much or too little of copper may result in either copper deficiency or excess of copper in the body.<\/p>\n

One of the most common sources via which the copper is ingested in the human body is through the water we consume. Water pipes are made of copper and in the areas where water is acidic and soft, it leads to the corrosion of copper from the pipes into the water. This also happens when food is prepared in copper pans<\/strong><\/a> and pots. Cigarette smoking also leads to the accumulation of excessive copper in the body. In women, oral contraceptives play a huge role in increasing the copper content in the body.<\/p>\n

Up until recently, the diagnosis and the treatment of overload of heavy metals were hindered by the lack of any reliable diagnostic techniques. Before the present diagnostic techniques were prevalent, blood, urine and sweat were used for the same. But all of these proved to be ineffective in detecting long term exposure as the bodily fluids are almost always fluctuating. But after the development of modern laboratory techniques, the concentration of trace elements can now be detected even with the smallest amounts of samples that too with great accuracy and precision. If you are curious to know the symptoms of excess copper, then have a look at the list below:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Exhaustion and fatigue<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Feelings of doom<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hypothyroidism<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Migraines, headaches<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Sensitivity<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Mood swings<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Depressions<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Cold hands or feet<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Dry skin<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Paranoia<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Arthritis <\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hopelessness, despair, suicidal feelings<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Racing heart<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Constipation<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Eating disorders<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Problem with remembering or memorizing things<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Panic attacks, anxiety<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Reaction to minerals and vitamins<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Aching muscles<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Yeast infections<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hypoglycemia<\/strong>
