Key Facts
- Copper is a trace mineral essential for bone structure, connective tissue integrity, heart health, and antioxidant defense
- Supports the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which protects cells from oxidative damage
- Bisglycinate chelate form enhances absorption compared to standard copper salts
- Particularly relevant if you're taking high-dose zinc, since these minerals compete for absorption
Ingredients
Copper (as TRAACS® Copper Bisglycinate Chelate) — 2 mg per capsule.
Why We Chose This
Copper deficiency often flies under the radar, especially among people supplementing with zinc for immune support or recovery. When zinc intake climbs above 50 mg daily over time, it can block copper absorption, leaving your cells more vulnerable to oxidative stress. Copper bisglycinate uses a chelated form that your body absorbs more efficiently than older copper compounds, meaning you get meaningful support at a modest 2 mg dose. This formulation addresses a real gap: maintaining mineral balance when your supplement routine might inadvertently create one.
