Specimen: Whole blood Volume: 2 mL Methodology: Inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) Turnaround Time : 4 - 7 days
Copper is an essential trace mineral needed for energy production, iron metabolism, and immune function. This test measures whole blood copper levels to assess nutritional status or investigate symptoms like fatigue, anemia, or neuropathy.
Copper supports aerobic metabolism and collagen synthesis, making it relevant to endurance performance and connective tissue health. Athletes with restrictive diets, high sweat losses, or malabsorption may develop deficiency; however, copper testing is not a routine performance metric and is most useful when deficiency symptoms are present or dietary intake is questionable.
