It appears 1.63 mg of copper from all sources a day helped people have better cognitive processing skills.

Do note this is a pretty low amount of copper, if taking a vitamin / mineral supplement, drinking water from copper pipes in the home, and from foods and beverages. I checked my long-term copper intake on a daily basis and I was getting 3.5-4 mg a day. It caused a zinc imbalance, despite getting what I thought was adequate amounts. Copper and zinc oppose each other in a 1 : 7.5 ratio in milligrams. Just be aware of this.

Copper is important for keeping iron levels proper, which helps prevent anemia. Anemia increases fatigue and exhaustion and can sometimes help people pass out getting up too fast.

Kool!!! I can strip copper wire and chop it up in my blender. Then I don’t have to pay for it.

How are we supposed to know how much copper/zinc to consume? This, and other minerals, if we have enough of one, we have too little of the other.

Doctor’s advice — Every day, eat a penny for your thoughts.

But it needs to be an old penny with real copper.

Makes sense on a basic level, copper is a great conductor of energy and hence, information.... Better wiring means better cognizance. Just my $.02.
