What kind of collagen?
- It accounts for approximately 35% of the body's protein.
- Responsible for connecting tissues → including skin, bones, muscles, ligaments, eyes, teeth, fascia
- Supporting body structure, elasticity and stability
Copper: The core catalyst for collagen production
- It helps synthesize collagen and elastin .
- Maintaining organizational integrity
- A lack of copper can lead to:
- Excessive lumbar flexion ( swayback )
- loose skin
- Joint weakness, muscle fatigue
- Varicose veins
- Increased risk of hernia
Other health benefits of copper
- Supporting the immune system → white blood cell function, red blood cell shape
- Helps absorb iron → Improves anemia
- Regulating sweat glands → Excessive sweating may be related to copper deficiency
- Copper deficiency can lead to premature graying of hair, which is involved in melanin production .
- Maintaining balance → Dizziness when closing your eyes may be due to insufficient copper.
- Helps eliminate fluoride → Excessive fluoride can lower the body's copper levels.
- Warm the limbs → help transport iron to heme
High-copper food recommendations

Common causes of copper deficiency
- Insufficient soil minerals → Low copper content in food

- Excessive intake of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) → affects the activity of copper enzymes .
- Long-term high-dose zinc supplementation → copper-zinc imbalance

- Over-processed fibers (such as functional fibers) → hinder the absorption of trace elements
Conclusion: Stop relying solely on collagen powder; understanding copper supplementation is key to true anti-aging and repair.
Hong Kong people value appearance, joint health, and anti-aging . Collagen isn't just about supplements; it's about the body synthesizing it itself . Starting today, a spoonful of sesame seeds, a piece of pan-fried beef liver, and a bowl of mushroom soup will lay a solid foundation for your health!
Don't be misled by the myth that "collagen = powder". Only by knowing how to supplement copper, how to balance, and how to repair can you achieve true health!
