Fatigue and Weakness

One of the numerous reasons for weakness and exhaustion may be a copper deficit. In order to absorb iron from the intestines, copper is necessary. The body may absorb less iron if copper levels are low. As a result, the body may develop iron deficiency anemia, which prevents the tissues from receiving adequate oxygen. You may become weaker and fatigue more quickly if you don't get enough oxygen.

Anemia may result from copper deficiency, according to a number of animal studies. The body's primary energy source, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is also produced by cells using copper. This indicates that a copper deficit may have an impact on your energy levels, which again encourages weakness and weariness. Fortunately, consuming a diet high in copper can help treat anemia brought on by copper deficiency.
