Neuropathy caused by this mineral

Did your neuropathy seem to come out of nowhere?

According to a new study in Scientific Reports, the cause may be a single, usually overlooked nutrient that plays a crucial role in nerve function.

Weirdly, too little starves your nerves of support, while too much triggers nerve breakdown.

Researchers analyzed data from 7,122 adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and found a surprising connection between copper and neuropathy.

Copper plays a key role in nerve function, supporting nerve signaling, cell communication, and myelin formation.

While copper is essential, scientists have now discovered that both deficiencies and excesses may be linked to peripheral neuropathy.

The study found a U-shaped relationship between copper intake and neuropathy risk. Those who consumed less than 0.889 mg/day saw their risk decrease as their intake increased. However, beyond 0.889 mg/day, the risk of neuropathy began to rise again.

People with the lowest copper intake had a 42% higher neuropathy risk, while those with the highest intake had a 68% increased risk compared to those in the optimal range.

Foods high in copper include shellfish, liver, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, and dark chocolate.

If you regularly eat these foods, taking a copper supplement could push your intake beyond the safe range.

On the other hand, if you rarely consume copper-rich foods, a small supplement (no more than 0.889 mg/day) may help protect your nerves.

But balancing your copper intake is probably not going to be enough.
