More about zinc and copper

Zinc has been officially recognized as an essential mineral since 1963. Our body contains about 2 to 4mg of it. Zinc is, like magnesium, essential for every cell in our body. A serious zinc deficiency does not occur easily. However, a mild zinc deficiency is common and increases the susceptibility to infectious diseases and weakens our immune system. The immune system depends on zinc for the construction and activation of various white blood cells, including interferons (IFN).

Interferons are natural proteins (glycoproteins) that are secreted into the cells of the immune system after contact with viruses, bacteria or fungi. They play an important role in the functioning of the immune system. A (mild) zinc deficiency therefore contributes to chronic diseases, a weakened immune system and the development of cancer cells. Zinc is also significantly involved in the production of energy, cell division and cell differentiation (= process, in which cells increasingly differ in form and function). This is necessary for growth, building, repair and (wound) healing of muscles and tissues. The growth and development of the (unborn) child and (young) adults also depends on the zinc status.

Body cells depend on enzymes for their function: necessary proteins to make chemical reactions possible, also called catalysts. Enzymes, in turn, often depend on coenzymes. Zinc, in ionic form, is a coenzyme, for more than 300 metalloenzymes (metal – or mineral-dependent enzymes). An example of an important enzyme dependent on zinc is delta-6-desaturase. This enzyme is required for the synthesis (formation) and conversion of fatty acids such as the conversion of ALA to EPA and of EPA to DHA. Fatty acids are essential for the stability and function of our cell membranes, hormone balance and regulation of inflammatory factors.

(Other metals such as magnesium, iron, and copper are also coenzymes for the relevant metalloenzymes in ionic form.)

Furthermore, zinc ions (like copper and silver ions) have direct antimicrobial and antiviral activity.

Copper helps to ensure that iron is stored in hemoglobin and thus plays a role in iron metabolism and oxygen transport in the body. Copper is involved in the synthesis of melanin, which causes pigmentation of skin and hair and thus combats aging and pigmentation spots.

The synthesis and crosslinking of collagen and elastin are dependent on copper and important for the firmness and elasticity of skin and connective tissue. Copper contributes to a youthful skin and healthy organs such as lungs, heart and blood vessels.

Both zinc and copper are also important for the growth and development of bones and tissues, new formation of blood vessels, and synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.

An optimal copper status promotes psychological and mental well-being and an optimal energy supply to our bodies.

Although severe copper deficiency is not common in humans, mild copper deficiencies are not rare. In fact, in farm animals (animals kept for meat, milk, wool, etc.), copper deficiency is the most important deficiency worldwide.

The importance of copper to animals and humans has been known for almost a century. The human body contains about 100mg of it, although measurements are scarce. Copper is found mainly in the brain, kidneys, liver and heart: about 3 to 5mcg/gr. Copper is a cofactor for cytochrome-c-oxidase, the enzyme in the last stage of the electron transport chain; the energy process in the mitochondria. Thus, copper is an essential element for our energy balance.

Bones and muscles contain as much as 50% of the total amount of copper.

As a cofactor of various coenzymes and metalloproteins, the mineral is also important for antioxidant defense and control of inflammation and
allergies.

In the fight against germs, copper has come into focus in recent years. A metal whose germicidal effect – remarkably – was already known in ancient times. For example, an Egyptian text on a papyrus scroll, dating from between 2600 and 2200 BC, describes how copper can be used to disinfect wounds and sterilize water.

Greeks, Romans, Aztecs and other ancient civilizations also knew the antimicrobial properties of copper. They used it, ground into powder, against skin diseases. Archaeological finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum also show that Italian physicians used instruments made of copper and bronze in the first century.
