As we age our skin thins and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans. Age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin's ability to retain moisture is diminished.
Copper plays a vital role in skin health by helping restore the skin's ability to repair itself. Copper is a powerful collagen and elastin promoter and plays an antioxidative role in the body. Copper is important in the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs are the cement that bonds tissue components together). Copper dependent enzymes increase the benefits of natural tissue building processes.
