    This document provides information about the element copper. Copper is a transition metal in the 11th group of the 4th period in the periodic table. In the body, copper works with iron to form red blood cells and helps keep blood vessels, nerves, immune systems and bones healthy. Common foods containing copper include organ meats, oysters, nuts, seeds, leafy greens and dark chocolate. The recommended daily amount of copper is 1.0-1.6 milligrams. Too much copper can cause abdominal pain, cramps, nerve damage, vomiting and diarrhea while too little can result in premature grey hair, fatigue, weak bones and pale skin.
