The Science Behind Copper and Magnetic Bracelets for Pain Relief

Copper and magnet therapy bracelets have become popular remedies for reducing pain and inflammation. But do they really work? If so, how? 

If you’ve seen people wearing these bracelets and wondered what they’re all about, here’s the scoop.

Copper and rare-earth magnet bracelets come in both link and cuff styles. On the outside, you’ll just see copper. But on the inside of the bracelet, powerful rare earth magnets are worn against the skin. 

Why use these bracelets? Studies show these bracelets may work by improving circulation and blood flow.

Copper is thought to increase the production of heme oxidase-1, an enzyme that acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The copper ions can be absorbed through the skin, entering the bloodstream and reducing overall inflammation.

Magnets may improve circulation by creating a magnetic field that attracts iron in blood cells. This helps blood flow more efficiently through the veins and arteries near the magnet. 

Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to joint tissue and muscles, assisting in pain relief.

Thinking about trying one? When shopping for a copper or magnetic bracelet, look for ones made with high-quality materials. 

Copper bracelets should contain at least  90% copper. The magnets should be strong neodymium or hematite magnets. 

Wearing the bracelet directly against the skin allows for maximum exposure to the copper and magnetic properties…  Want the whole story? Click Here!
