Why Choose Coppermax™ NF?
Much of the soil in New Zealand is naturally low in copper; Copper has lots of biochemical and physiological functions so deficiencies are reflected in nerve, bone, immune and growth functions. Copper is involved directly with the activity of several enzymes and this is how the clinical signs of the deficiency develop:
• Laying-down of nerve fibre sheaths – ataxia
• Bone growth – skeletal abnormalities and retarded growth
• Immunity – Antibody production and neutrophil activity
• Protection from oxidative damage to cells
• Absorption of iron – if severe then anaemia may result
• Keratinisation of fleece fibre – weak fleece and irregular dye uptake
• Pigmentation of wool/hair through interference with melanin production
