Copper is essential for cytochrome c oxidase. Ray has mentioned this a few times, and so has haidut. Considering that this enzyme is the last part of the electron transport chain, it has big importance for the production of ATP. The way creatine raises IQ is likely by increasing the amount of ATP in cells. If something is interfering with the flow of electrons( a deficiency of copper may do that), it will hurt intelligence.Copper is the crucial element for producing the color in hair and skin, for maintaining the elasticity of skin and blood vessels, for protecting against certain types of free radical, and especially for allowing us to use oxygen properly for the production of biological energy. It is also necessary for the normal functioning of certain nerve cells (substantia nigra) whose degeneration is involved in Parkinson's disease. Copper is the mineral of poetry,leterature. Copper and calcium are the minerals that can you escape you from this shitty reality.
