Element #29 on the Periodic Table, Copper (Cu) is a red, lustrous ductile, highly malleable metal. Copper has historically demonstrated anti-parasitic tendencies, especially in the livestock industry as a de-worming agent. Copper, in its pure trace elemental state, helps improve inter-cellular communications and strengthens the cellular membrane against microscopic parasite infestation. A diet deficient in Copper causes premature greying of the hair, and low collagen in the skin, which may result in wrinkling.
