The body does not have a good way of getting rid of copper from the body naturally, so there have been some medications developed to help chelate (remove) it, but they are prescription drugs, so if you feel you need to lower your body's copper, you need to see your doctor. Some of the main drugs used to reduce copper in the body are pencillamine, and trientene, though if you are very high, your doctor may feel you need to undergo dialysis to remove the excess copper from your bloodstream quickly.

Is there copper in blood?

Copper, and other metals are often used sparingly by the body in the formation of certain enzymes and protein structures. IRON is a prime example as it forms the bases of the protein Hemoglobin which transports gases through the body. Unlike iron, the body needs very little copper to function properly, in fact, copper helps the body to absorb iron for creating red blood cells. Most copper in the body is limited to metal-containing enzymes, the copper has to be transported through the body to where it's needed, so there is a small, small amount of copper in the blood (while its transported to organs where its needed).
