Copper is vital for the development and functioning of the brain, including thought and cognitive processes. It is a component of some enzymes that are responsible for supply of energy to the brain. It also plays a part in signals to the body besides assisting in the brain’s defense system.
These functions will be negatively affected in case of copper deficiency, leading to mental difficulties.
