The Copper test is a blood test used to measure copper levels in the body, an essential mineral required for healthy nerve function, immunity, red blood cell formation, and energy production. This test is commonly recommended when there are symptoms of copper deficiency or copper overload, such as weakness, anaemia, nerve problems, liver issues, or unexplained fatigue. It is also useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like Wilson’s disease and other metabolic disorders. Regular monitoring helps ensure balanced mineral levels and better overall health.
