I seriously doubt that it has any health advantage. How could it? Is the copper absorbed by your skin? And if it is, is it supposed to correct a copper deficiency? A doctor would recommend a supplement for a deficiency, not a bracelet.

As far as it being magnetic, that's not going to help anything, in my opinion. I remember many years ago when there was a trend or fad for that sort of thing. People were buying magnetic mattress pads etc.. Then after a few years everyone was offering them for sale (used) to try to get some of their money back.
