Sabona History
Sabona manufactures and markets fine copper and magnetic bracelets worldwide. Established in 1959, Sabona has offices in England and in the United States, and is internationally recognized as the premier marketer of copper and magnetic bracelets due to strict standards of quality and fine craftsmanship.
Various forms of copper have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the history of mankind. The ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Hindu and Aztec writings record various consistent medicinal uses of copper. 1 Today, as more information becomes available, alternative health care and home remedies are gaining popularity. Health publications include copper bracelets as a home remedy to possibly ease the pain from arthritis in some people who seem to get an insuffi cient amount of copper from their food. Helmar Dollwet, Ph.D., of the University of Akron, has studied this copper connection and thinks the dissolved copper from a copper bracelet entering the body through the skin may be the only
way for them to get the copper they need. 2 Another study found patients wearing copper bracelets absorbed an
average of 13 milligrams of copper during a month. “This could bring many people into the recommended daily intake for copper (1.5 to 3 milligrams). Copper absorbed through the skin gets into circulation very effi ciently – more so than most dietary copper.” Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is one of the body’s own copperdependent enzymes that reduces pain and inflammation. The body may use copper to make more of its own SOD.
The Magnetic Theory
Magnets have been used in different cultures over the years by those who believe magnets worn on the body promote good health. The theory is that magnet therapy may be beneficial by affecting the circulatory system, the blood flow in
the body. Increased circulation is beneficial because the body gets more of the nutrients it needs from the blood.
Magnetic therapy is becoming more and more widely accepted as an alternative method of pain relief.
Sabona is glad to provide quality products to aid people with relieving their aches and pains.

Copper wristbands and magnetic products are considered to be unproven remedies. Magnetic products should not be worn next to a watch.
