About this test

  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Frequent infections or weakened immunity
  • Poor wound healing
  • Pale skin or anaemia-like symptoms
  • Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
  • Unsteady gait or balance issues
  • Light-coloured or brittle hair
  • Mood swings or difficulty concentrating
  • Osteoporosis or bone fragility
  • No noticeable symptoms in early deficiency or overload

Recommended for individuals experiencing unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, poor wound healing, numbness, or neurological symptoms. Ideal for those with restricted diets, malabsorption issues (e.g. coeliac disease, bariatric surgery), or elevated zinc supplementation, which can affect copper balance. Also suitable for anyone proactively monitoring trace mineral status, especially in cases of suspected copper deficiency or overload.

  • Copper deficiency (mild to severe)
  • Anaemia unresponsive to iron therapy
  • Neurological issues (e.g. numbness, tingling, ataxia)
  • Fatigue or weakness linked to low trace minerals
  • Impaired immune function or frequent infections
  • Connective tissue disorders or poor wound healing
  • Malabsorption conditions (e.g. coeliac disease, IBD, gastric bypass)
  • Wilson’s disease or other copper metabolism disorders
  • Excessive zinc supplementation impacting copper balance
  • Osteoporosis or bone demineralisation linked to mineral imbalances
