Rather this blog explores and reviews published scientific literature revealing innate anti-viral benefits of copper specifically against SARS-COV2 outbreak. We can be amazed by the intellect and acumen of our ancestors who 10,000 years back in history discovered copper and techniques to make its various alloys and incorporated copper extensively in their lifestyle.

Colossal Coronavirus infection cases and mortality figures have led to a surge in the market for materials laced with copper including face masks, bed sheets, socks, and many more. In this blog, we would like to highlight well accepted and established medicinal properties of copper and how this innate power of copper can be exploited in COVID times.
