Assessing Copper + Zinc is an excellent way to determine immune status and the intake and/or absorption of zinc and copper. Zinc is essential for a healthy immune system. Some of the key functions of copper include the formation of connective tissue, hemoglobin, and myelin, the protective coating around nerves. Maintaining a balance between copper and zinc is important as an imbalance can lead to various health problems. The Copper + Zinc Profile is a serum panel that measures both copper, zinc, and ceruloplasmin and assesses the zinc/copper ratio, providing insight into these essential trace elements.
