I have joint pain. Osteoarthritis. I have noticed that drinking water stored in copper pitcher has mitigated the pain to some extent. Is it just coincidental or there a better explanation for that?

Copper which is required mineral to our body and its usage will reduce infection which spread through drinking water and copper physiology is stated Copper is both essential and toxic to living systems. As an essential metal, copper is required for adequate growth, cardiovascular integrity, lung elasticity, neovascularization, neuroendocrine function, and iron metabolism. An average adult human ingests about 1 mg of copper per day in the diet; about half of which is absorbed (Harris 1997). An expert committee of the World Health Organization recommends 30 micrograms (�g) per kilogram (kg) of body weight per day, which equates to about 2 mg per day for an average adult (WHO 1996). The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) recommends dietary copper intake of 1.5?3.0 mg per day for adults (NRC 1989).
