This version of our classic 6-per day full-spectrum multivitamin contains 2 mg of copper, and is ideal for anyone who is copper-deficient. 

DFH Complete Multi™ with Copper contains a significant dose of all the B vitamins that are easily depleted by stress (B12 in the preferred methylcobalamin form), 1000 IU of vitamin D, 500 mcg of vitamin K-1 (phytonadione), 50 mcg of vitamin K-2 (menaquinone), and calcium and magnesium in a 1:2 ratio. Selenium is included for healthy thyroid function.

Functions of copper include:

• Development of immune cells

• Proper metabolism, absorption, and transport of iron

• Formation of collagen -helps to keep skin firm, benefits wound healing

• Energy production – due to its role in iron mobilization, the formation of hemoglobin and RBCs, and in the transport of oxygen throughout the body

• Maintenance of blood vessels

• Melanin formation

• Myelin sheath formation/maintenance

DFH Complete Multi™ with Copper may be beneficial for:

• Copper-deficiency anemia

• Copper deficiencies sometimes seen with gastric bypass patients (copper is absorbed in the duodenum and proximal jejunum, and is poorly absorbed when a significant portion of the proximal small intestine is bypassed)

• Restless Leg Syndrome

• Those on high dose, long-term supplementation of zinc (50 mg/day or more), as this may lead to a deficiency in copper

• Men and postmenopausal women, as these groups are likely to have adequate amounts of iron intake and storage levels

This is a powerhouse multi! Two capsules with each meal is the recommended dosage.
