trace mineral essential for melanin production and hair follicle health
Copper is a trace mineral essential for various bodily functions, including the formation of red blood cells, the maintenance of nerve cells, and the immune system. In the context of hair health, copper plays a crucial role in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, and it also supports the structural integrity of hair follicles, potentially influencing hair growth and preventing hair loss.
