Copper is a type of metal, and also a chemical element on the peridoic table. It can be combined with tin to make brass or zinc to make bronze. Copper has been found in Iraq that goes back to 8700 B.C. American pennies before 1983 were also made from copper.

As a nutrient, copper is a trace mineral that plays an important role in your metabolism, largely because it allows many critical enzymes to function properly. Although copper is the third most abundant trace mineral in the body (behind iron and zinc), the total amount of copper in your body is only 75-100 milligrams, less than the amount of copper in a penny. Copper is present in every tissue of your body, but is stored primarily in your liver, so concentrations of the mineral are highest there, with lesser amounts found in your brain, heart, kidney, and muscles.
