The Relationship Between Copper, Magnesium, and Iron

Copper, magnesium, and iron are interdependent in the body and play a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress levels. Copper deficiency is linked to many chronic illnesses and is affected by factors like glyphosate, nutrient-poor soils, and a high-fructose diet. Magnesium, an essential mineral, is crucial for enzyme function and is affected by stress and iron levels. Iron and oxygen regulation are regulated by copper, with imbalances leading to heightened oxidative stress. Metabolic syndrome and hormone dysregulation can be linked to copper deficiency. Testing for copper deficiency is challenging due to the lack of FDA-approved tests.
