Copper Status
Copper status describes how much copper your body holds and how well it absorbs and uses it, which matters because copper helps enzymes handle iron, build connective tissue, and make cellular energy. Molybdenum is the supplement with research so far, and a small study of 100 people found it may reduce copper absorption. The evidence is very limited, so this is a hint rather than a firm answer.
