Today, copper is regaining its popularity and its acceptance as an alternative wellness remedy used to relieve pain of arthritis and a host of other joint pain problems. Recent studies have shown that the average adult gets an insufficient amount of copper from regular dietary sources. However, copper deficiency may have a simple remedy.

An added benefit: copper that is absorbed through the skin is metabolized in the blood stream more effectively than copper that is consumed in the diet SOD is an enzyme produced naturally in humans and is attributed with the reduction of pain and inflammation. The body's production of SOD is copper-dependant, and without sufficient levels of copper, normal production of SOD is inhibited.
