What is Copper?

A trace mineral essential for iron metabolism, energy production, and connective tissue health.

Copper Reference Range

These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.

PopulationRange
Male, age 18+70.0 – 140 mcg/dL
Female, age 18+80.0 – 155 mcg/dL

Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.

What your Copper result may mean

Higher than range

Can reflect inflammation, certain liver conditions, or estrogen-containing medications.

Lower than range

Can reflect malabsorption, gastric bypass, or excess zinc supplementation.

Educational only — not a diagnosis. Many factors can influence a single result. Discuss anything that concerns you with a healthcare provider.
