Too much copper can have a powerful effect on the mind and alter mood and behaviour.
Research has shown that too much copper can inhibit and block the neurotransmission of GABA, one of the main calming neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (5, 6, 42). It’s no wonder that anxious people find such relief from alcohol and anti-anxiety medications, as they both activate GABA receptors in the brain.
The anxious person’s fatigued body can’t keep up with their overactive mind, and medication often becomes necessary.
But instead of taking drugs, people need to consider supplementing with zinc.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral that activates several hundred enzymatic reactions, including brain and nervous system function and neurotransmission.
The key takeaway here is that if you suffer from chronic anxiety, you need to work on lowering your copper to zinc ratio, as it is likely very high at this point.
