Many people say copper wristbands help ease the aches and pains of stiff and sore joints.
It is certainly true that people do say this - even scientific research provides evidence that people taking part in trials sometimes say bracelets help with their pain.
It is also true, however, that online shops and forums use marketing pitches to remind us of this fact that people do sometimes say that copper bracelets help - and people say it for good reason.
But why do people say copper worn around the wrist is beneficial, and how does the evidence stack up?
