Copper’s main functions are: absorption of iron, development and maintenance of bone, connective tissue, and organs such as the brain and heart, production of red blood cells, prevention of prostatitis and blood pressure regulation.
It may reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases.
Severe copper deficiency is associated a higher risk of osteoporosis.
Too little copper can lead to neutropenia [a deficiency of white blood cells].
It may help prevent or delay arthritis.
Dosage
Dosage
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of copper for adult men and women is 900 mcg daily.
The maximum upper intake level (UL) [maximum daily intake] of copper for adults is 10,000 mcg daily (10 mg/day).
Deficiency Symptoms
Deficiency Symptoms
It may cause iron deficiency anemia resulting in weakness and fatigue.
It may affect melanin formation, causing premature gray hair.
It can reduce premenstrual (PMS) symptoms, when combined with calcium.
It decreases inflammation and pain associated with inflammatory diseases.
Manganese is a part of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is the most important antioxidant in the body. Reduces cell damage and disease risk.
It can improve bone mineral density and bone formation.
It is essential for the proper thyroid health and functioning.
Dosage
Dosage
The daily Adequate Intakes (AIs) of Manganese for adult men is 2.3mg and for adult women is 1.8 mg.
The maximum upper intake level (UL) [maximum daily intake] of Manganese for adults is 11 mg daily.
Molybdenum has protective benefits against cancer.
It is required for the function of four enzymes:
Sulfite oxidase (Prevents the dangerous buildup of sulfites in the body).
Xanthine oxidase (Converts xanthine to uric acid).
Aldehyde oxidase (Breaks down aldehydes, which can be toxic to the body).
Mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component (mARC) (Removes toxic byproducts of metabolism).
Dosage
Dosage
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of Molybdenum for adult men and women is 45 mcg daily.
The maximum upper intake level (UL) [maximum daily intake] of Molybdenum for adults is 2000 mcg daily (2 mg/day).
Deficiency Symptoms
Deficiency Symptoms
Molybdenum deficiency has not been reported, except in people with a genetic mutation that prevents the synthesis of molybdopterin. The absence of molybdopterin impairs the function of enzymes that metabolize sulfite; leading to brain damage and seizures. The damage is severe and usually leads to death within days after birth.
A single reported incident of molybdenum deficiency occurred in 1981 in a patient receiving total parenteral nutrition that was lacking molybdenum. The patient developed tachycardia, tachypnea, headache, night blindness, and coma. These effects resolved with molybdenum administration.
The daily recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of Phosphorus are:
Children 1-3 years, 460 mg; 4-8 years, 500 mg; 9-13 years, 1250 mg; Males 14 to 18 years, 1250 mg; Females 14-18 years (including pregnancy and lactation), 1250 mg.
Adults; Males 19 years and older, 700 mg; Females 19 years and older (including pregnancy and lactation), 700mg.
The maximum upper intake level [maximum daily intake] of Phosphorus is:
Children 1 to 3 years, 3000 mg; 4 to 8 years, 3000 mg; 9 to 13 years, 4000 mg.
Zinc boosts immune function and fights inflammation.
It slows age-related macular degeneration.
It may help reduce insulin resistance, thus maintaining normal blood sugar levels. And it is effective at enhancing sugar control in people with diabetes.
It decreases the levels of LDL [bad cholesterol], as well as blood triglycerides which could prevent heart disease.
Dosage
Dosage
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of Zinc for adult males is 11 mg daily and for adult females is 8 mg daily.
The maximum upper intake level (UL) [maximum daily intake] of Zinc for adults is 40 mg daily.
