Neurological Function
Neurological function is how your brain, spinal cord, and nerves send signals that shape thinking, movement, sensation, and mood. Copper is the supplement with findings so far, and small research involving 80 people found that dopamine metabolism went up. Still, the evidence is limited and rests on one measure, so it is too early to say what that means for everyday thinking or movement.
