I dont have an answer for you,but I am wondering the same thing. I am very close to getting one but I am unsure of how to choose one and I'd like to hear from others that do know about them. Thanks for posting this, I'm hopeful we will find some info from others here.
Take care!!!

Years ago...I wore one, and thought it helped...Here is some info I found..
Copper bracelets were common in ancient societies and have amazing health benefits that you can benefit from. If you think wearing a simple copper bracelet canât help you remain healthy â think again!
Archeologists have been unearthing copper jewelry for now over 200 years and yet so little has been said about them.
Why were they worn?
Why are they universal (seen in all ancient societies, even Island ones)? What do they do for the wearer?
All these questions are answered and more below. The fact is copper bracelets have a direct medicinal
effect on the human body.
Copper Bracelets and History
Worn by Pharaohs, Indian Rajas, Chinese Emperors, Persian Kings, Alexander the Great, and so many others, the copper bracelet has had more than just a cosmetic purpose.
In fact, it cannot compare even to brass (which is copper and zinc), let along Gold or Silver. Why has copper bracelets been so popular then?
Copper has been used by every civilization that had access to it as a medicine and preventative.
The history of civilization is also the history of the use of copper. The bracelets have literally been worn in every major civilization.
What Does a Copper Bracelet Do?
In a study done in the Mayo Clinic (Bratton et al., 2002) it was found that in general (over 75%) of all people with arthritic and rheumatoid arthritic pains found the symptoms decrease and sometimes disappear by the simple wearing of a pure copper bracelet.
It is no secret that copper is a most excellent conductor of electricity, and besides that, the skin is as much an entry point in the body as a barrier.
Micro doses of copper enter the body and bolster the immune system, and as itâs on the skin, it enters as and when needed (not as in dietary copper).
The copper bracelet seems also to emit elemental and molecular vibrations and other physical phenomena such as a corona effect of the ends of the bracelet.
These vibratory emissions appear to convey some medicinal benefit. In the case of body pains due to some rheumatoid arthritic condition, it appears to be very effective indeed.
Other Benefits of Wearing a Copper Bracelet.
There are several other benefits gained by the wearing of a copper bracelet, allowing absorption directly from the skin. They are:
⢠Copper binds to enzymes and aid the formation of hemoglobin in erythrocytes, help form collagen for wound healing, and otherwise improve the body's functioning.
⢠Copper can be absorbed differentially by infectious microorganisms and thereby poison them (such as Staphylococcus aureus bacteria),
⢠Copper is known to optimize the use of iron and zinc in the immune system.
⢠The absorption of copper through the skin can correct hidden copper deficiency can help optimize the body's resistance to disease.
⢠Copper competes with toxic minerals for absorption and physiological use, thus reducing their harmful impact and making them more likely to be eliminated.
⢠Copper has shown that in certain anemic and sick individuals, there is a trans-dermal feeding response that conveys a powerful tonic and immuno-protective effect.
Side Effects of Wearing A Copper Bracelet
It is true that wearing a copper bracelet can discolor the skin as the blue-green copper deposits there.
However, this discoloration can be washed away with soap and water over the course of a day or two, and there is no evidence that it harms the skin.
Otherwise, there are generally no side effects (except positive and desired ones) in the wearing of a copper bracelet.

Copper â a new weapon to fight the influenza A virus New research finds copper effective at inactivating H1N1 virus
published by European Copper Institute on Friday 24 Jul 2009
Brussels, 22 July 2009: A leading microbiologist announced his findings that copper is effective at inactivating Influenza A - including H1N1 - at a conference to address the health challenges of globalisation. The research, led by Professor Bill Keevil, Director of the Environmental Healthcare Unit at the University of Southampton, was presented at the BIT Life Sciences 2nd Annual World
Summit on Antivirals on July 18.
µ
Professor Keevilâs research shows that copper actively inhibits Influenza A (H1N1), indicating a role for touch surfaces in public areas to be made from copper or brass as an additional measure to help prevent the spread of infection.
Professor Keevilâs study involved a series of experiments testing incubation of Influenza A on copper and stainless steel surfaces. Results showed that, after incubation for 24 hours on stainless steel, 500,000 virus particles were still infectious, while after only 1 hour of incubation on copper, 75% of the virus was eradicated, and after 6 hours, just 500 particles remained active.
The findings by Professor Keevilâs research add to earlier studies that have already confirmed the efficacy of copper in killing pathogenic bacteria that include E. coli, Salmonella, and MRSA - one of the most virulent strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and a common cause of hospital and community-acquired infections.
The research, unveiled at the Summit, will contribute to further understanding of copperâs antimicrobial qualities, which actively inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Professor Keevil said âWith the ongoing threat of contamination by Influenza A viruses, such as H1N1, there is a real and pressing need to utilise all appropriate and effective measures with proven antimicrobial qualities. Studies have now repeatedly shown that the use of copper as a surface material in key public places such as hospitals and food preparation areas may
substantially restrict and reduce the spread of harmful infectionâ.
The use of copper as a preventative health measure is becoming increasingly well recognised. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the registration of antimicrobial copper alloys, in line with proven public health benefits. In the UK, a clinical trial at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham, demonstrated that door handles and taps made from copper had 90-100% fewer
germs on them than those made from other materials.
Professor Keevil added: âThese public health benefits, supported by extensive antimicrobial efficacy testing, are underpinned by the fact that copper, brass and bronze are capable of killin harmful and potentially deadly micro-organismsâ.
Copper is the first solid surface material to receive this type of EPA registration, with antimicrobial copper alloy surfaces being shown to kill more than 99.9% of specific bacteria (including the MRSA superbug) within two hours, and to continue to kill more than 99% of (these) bacteria even after repeated contamination.
Copper metals, unlike other materials treatments, retain their antibacterial efficacy, offering solid, long-term protection. As a result, copper can play a pivotal role as a control barrier to the spread of harmful pathogens, and supplement standard infection control practices, which will continue to require stringent hygiene controls and development of antiviral vaccines.
