What is the relationship between copper and estrogen?

Q&A Files #323 Early Release Video

Question: What is the relationship between copper and estrogen?

This is a question asked live during the March 14, 2023 AMA.

Short Answer: Estrogen moves copper from the mother’s bloodstream to the fetus during pregnancy. Its action at the intestines is poorly understood but I believe estrogen and progesterone interact to promote intestinal copper absorption. Maintaining pregnancy-level hormones while not pregnant poses a risk of promoting too much absorption of copper from food without transferring it to a growing baby. Copper status should be monitored when using supplemental hormones to avoid copper toxicity.
