El cobre en la alimentación

Recomendaciones:

El Comité de Nutrición y Alimentos del Instituto de Medicina (Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine ) recomienda los siguientes consumos en la dieta para el cobre:

Bebés:

  • 0 a 6 meses: 200 microgramos por día (mcg/día)
  • 7-12 meses: 220 mcg/día

Niños:

  • 1 - 3 años: 340 mcg/día
  • 4 - 8 años: 440 mcg/día
  • 9 - 13 años: 700 mcg/día

Adolescentes y adultos:

  • Hombres y mujeres de 14 a 18 años: 890 mcg/día
  • Hombres y mujeres de 19 años en adelante: 900 mcg/día

La mejor manera de obtener los requerimientos diarios de vitaminas esenciales es consumir una dieta balanceada que contenga una variedad de alimentos de los MiPlato.

Las recomendaciones específicas dependen de la edad, el sexo y otros factores (como el embarazo). Las mujeres embarazadas o que estén produciendo leche materna (lactantes) necesitan cantidades mayores. Pregúntele al médico cuál es la mejor cantidad en su caso.
