These studies suggest that the recommended daily intake of copper varies: 1.6 mg/day for men, 1.3 mg/day for women, 0.7 mg/day for young children, 1.3 mg/day for adolescent boys, 1.1 mg/day for adolescent girls, 0.3-0.5 mg/day for patients on total parenteral nutrition, and generally 2 to 3 mg/day for adults, with variations depending on dietary factors and individual needs.
Copper is an essential trace mineral that plays a vital role in various bodily functions. Determining the appropriate daily intake of copper is important for maintaining health and preventing deficiency.
The recommended daily intake of copper varies depending on age, gender, and specific conditions such as pregnancy, lactation, and gastrointestinal health. For the general adult population, the Adequate Intake is set at 1.6 mg/day for men and 1.3 mg/day for women. Children, infants, pregnant, and lactating women have different recommended intakes. It is also important to consider the interaction between copper and zinc intake, as high levels of zinc can affect copper retention. Overall, typical intakes in the EU suggest that most people consume amounts close to the recommended levels, although individual circumstances can lead to variations.
