1.Introduction
Copper gluconate is a light blue to blue-green crystalline powder. It is odorless, stable in air, easily soluble in water, and extremely soluble in ethanol in trace amounts.
The Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) evaluates copper gluconate as a “useful, safe, and necessary” copper supplement. At present, countries such as the United States and Japan have designated this ingredient as a permitted food fortifier and used it as a therapeutic drug for copper deficiency.
2. Usage
Copper is a component of various important enzyme systems in the body, which can promote the absorption and utilization of iron and maintain the function of the central nervous system. When copper deficiency occurs, the fragility of various blood vessels and bones in the human body increases, brain tissue atrophy occurs, and it can also cause melanin loss such as vitiligo and oligobalanitis.
Meanwhile, copper gluconate has antioxidant, anemia improving, skin care, osteoporosis treatment, and hypertension relieving effects and effects. It is recommended to use it in a standardized manner under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Treatment of copper deficiency
Copper is an important component of various enzymes and also participates in the body’s metabolic processes. Supplementing copper helps maintain normal physiological functions.
2. Antioxidant: Copper gluconate can help with the absorption and utilization of antioxidants. It can interact with oxidants and have a certain killing effect on pathogens such as viruses and bacteria.
3. Skin care: It can regulate skin water and oil balance, thereby reducing the incidence of acne and closed mouth. Lack of copper may lead to a series of diseases, such as pellagra, and supplementing copper can alleviate related symptoms.
4. Improving anemia: It can promote the absorption of iron in the body, thereby alleviating iron deficiency anemia caused by insufficient iron intake in patients.
5. Promote growth and development
Copper has a significant effect on the growth and development of bones, so copper gluconate has a good therapeutic effect on maintaining bone growth and alleviating osteoporosis. Copper is crucial for the growth and development of children and adolescents, as it participates in many key biochemical reactions in the body.
6. Relieve hypertension: It has a certain promoting effect on blood pressure regulation. Therefore, moderate consumption of copper gluconate by hypertensive patients has a certain effect on blood pressure control.
