Copper Power Copper Medication

Chemical and Physical Characteristics Odor: Faint Specific Gravity @ 20 C: 1.12 Color: Clear Blue Copper (II) Content: 0.5% pH: 6.2-7.1 COPPER POWER is a strongly coordinated copper medication. It is extremely stable in saltwater, with a very low rate of precipitation – 0.01mg/1/24 hr. This compared favorably to citrated, EDTA chelated, or unchelated copper medications previously available. Because COPPER POWER precipitates at such a low rate, a copper precipitate mucus does not form to clog the gill filaments of marine animals. For this reason, COPPER POWER is approximately 60 times less toxic to marine fish than other currently available copper medications. It is theorized that the mechanism by which COPPER POWER kills disease organisms is due to the destruction of the disulfide protein bonds. Although the copper in COPPER POWER is highly chemically bonded, the disulfide bonds of the proteins of many disease organisms have greater affinity. Thus, the copper of COPPER POWER is rel
