Do you know the copper benefit?
Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29.I t is a major metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that every American born in 2008 will use 1,309 pounds of copper during their lifetime for necessities, lifestyles, and health.
Copper health jewelry is more and more popular in the whole world.
All MAAS Copper Jewelry use pure copper material (Cu>99.90%)

4 Features of Copper
- Strength: Copper is a weak metal with a tensile strength of about half that of mild carbon steel. This explains why copper is easily formed by hand, and DIY many jewelry designs as you need.
- Toughness: Copper may not be strong, but it is not easy to break due to its high toughness. This property comes in handy for copper ring and copper bangles applications
- Ductility: Copper is very ductile and also very malleable. The electrical and jewelry industries benefit from the ductility of copper.
- Conductivity: Second only to silver, copper is not only an excellent conductor of electricity but also of heat. As a result, copper serves well in applications such as cookware, where it quickly draws heat to the food inside
Copper Benefits
Copper plays many important roles in maintaining a healthy body and some of its benefits include:
- Arthritis: The health benefits of copper relate to its anti-inflammatory actions that assist in reducing the symptoms of arthritis.

It is also helpful in the protection of the skeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems. If you suffer from its deficiency, the normal and healthy growth of organs and tissues, as well as their proper oxygenation from an ample red blood cell concentration, would be impossible. Copper deficiencies are seen in many third world countries and is reflected in the number of birth and growth defects in children of those nations.
- Pigmentation of Hair and Eyes: Copper is a vital component of the natural dark pigment, melanin, which imparts coloration to the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin can be produced by melanocytes only in the presence of the cuproenzyme called tyrosinase, which is derived from it.
