HMT Copper (Sensitive) Test kit

Copper is critical for energy production in the cells. It is also involved in nerve conduction, connective tissue, the cardiovascular system and the immune system. Copper is closely related to estrogen metabolism, and is required for women's fertility and to maintain pregnancy. Copper stimulates production of the neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine. It is also required for monoamine oxidase, an enzyme related to serotonin production. 

Copper Toxicity Limits
The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that 10-12mg per day may be the upper safe limit for consumption.
