Researchers are getting worried about too much copper in the drinking water supply and supplemental copper. The inorganic type of copper found in the copper from water pipes and supplements has been implicated in the formation of amyloid beta plaque, the type of plaque found in the brains of Alzheimers patients.
I dont think its wise to take any supplemental copper unless you have been diagnosed as having a deficiency.

Dr. Morris' study showed that Americans who consume high-fat, high trans-fat diets combined with a high intake of copper experience the most rapid decline in their mental faculties, equivalent to 19 years of brain aging in a 6-year period! You are talking about people in this category having the limited brain function of a 90-year-old at the age of 60! This is three-fold accelerated loss of mental acuity.
