Product Description Sabona Copper Designs are an attractive way to wear copper and magnets! This copper cuff magnetic bracelet features an elegant rope design with a classic satin finish. Look for the 1800 gauss samarium cobalt magnet in each tip of the wristband! Sabona chooses Samarium Cobalt magnets for long term durability and rust resistant qualities. Sabona Copper Wristbands are made with the purest copper available-99.99%. All styles are designed for comfort and manufactured to maintain shape and quality appearance. To get the best fit, subtract 1/2" to 3/4" from your wrist size to determine the size Sabona Copper Wristband you need. Sizes are Small (5.5"), Medium (6.0"), Large (6.5") or Extra Large (7.0"). Wristbands are to be snug, but not tight. If you are in between sizes, it works better for the band to be smaller rather than larger. Copper, when in contact with the skin, form chelates with human sweat (sometimes seen as a green deposit under the bracelet) and is thus absorbed through the skin. It can be removed with soap and water or lemon juice. To clean your Sabona bracelet, use a good jewelry cleaning cloth to keep the outside polished and the inside clean. Your Sabona magnetic bracelet comes packaged in a presentable black jewel box. About the Brand Sabona manufactures and markets fine copper and magnetic bracelets worldwide.

The Copper Theory Various forms of copper have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the history of mankind. The ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Hindu and Aztec writings record various consistent medicinal uses of copper.1 Today, as more information becomes available, alternative health care and home remedies are gaining popularity. Health publications include copper bracelets as a home remedy to possibly ease the pain from arthritis in some people who seem to get an insufficient amount of copper from their food. Helmar Dollwet, Ph.D., of the University of Akron, has studied this copper connection and thinks the dissolved copper from a copper bracelet entering the body through the skin may be the only way for them to get the copper they need.2 Another study found patients wearing copper bracelets absorbed an average of 13 milligrams of copper during a month. "This could bring many people into the recommended daily intake for copper (1.5 to 3 milligrams). Copper absorbed through the skin gets into circulation very efficiently more so than most dietary copper." Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is one of the bodys own copper-dependent enzymes that reduces pain and inflammation. The body may use copper to make more of its own SOD.3 1 Dollwet & Sorenson, "Historic Uses of Copper Compounds in Medicine" TRACE ELEMENTS IN MEDICINE, Vol.2, No.2-1985 (pp.80-87) 2 Tkac, Debra, Ed.

The Magnetic Theory Magnets have been used in different cultures over the years by those who believe magnets worn on the body promote good health. The theory is that magnet therapy may be beneficial by affecting the circulatory system, the blood flow in the body. Increased circulation is beneficial because the body gets more of the nutrients it needs from the blood.
