Heart and blood: Copper helps new baby's blood vessels and heart. For adults, copper helps vlood formation, hair, and more. If you eat a healthy, varied diet, you'll probably get enough copper. It's present in seafood, nuts, seeds, wheat bran cereals, whole grain products, dark leafy greens, and even cocoa products. Most prenatal vitamins contain 1 mg daily.
