Copper Bisglycinate

Copper Bisglycinate is a gentle, highly absorbable chelated copper supplement that supports immune function, energy production, and healthy connective tissue (collagen) formation. It may help with symptoms of copper deficiency—such as impaired iron metabolism, slow wound healing, low energy, and thinning hair—while supporting antioxidant enzyme activity, cardiovascular and cognitive health.

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.

Zinc Bisglycinate 15 mg

Zinc Bisglycinate 15 mg is a chelated, highly absorbable form of zinc delivering 15 mg elemental zinc per dose. It supports immune defense, healthy skin and wound healing, hair and nail strength, and overall metabolic and reproductive wellness—helpful for those prone to frequent colds, slow healing, or thinning hair/nails.

Frequently Asked Questions About Copper Bisglycinate

What is the supporting research for the benefits of copper bisglycinate?

Copper bis-glycinate demonstrates better absorption than inorganic copper salts. (copper bis-glycinate immunology study)
Organic bis-glycinate copper shows higher relative bioavailability in animal work. (bis-glycinate copper bioavailability)
Adequate copper intake appears essential for mitochondrial energy production. (NIH copper fact sheet)

How do I take copper bisglycinate?

Take 1 capsule one to three times daily, or follow your healthcare practitioner's guidance.

Since copper and zinc compete for absorption, pair this with zinc supplementation to maintain balance.

Can I take copper bisglycinate with other supplements or medications?

Copper bisglycinate has no known adverse interactions or contraindications with other supplements or medications at publication date. However, zinc supplements can interfere with copper absorption, so balance is key.

Who might benefit from taking copper bisglycinate?

People taking high-dose zinc supplements benefit most, as copper and zinc compete for absorption and deficiency can increase oxidative stress. Those seeking to support bone, cardiovascular, connective tissue, and neurological health may also find copper bisglycinate beneficial.

How long does it typically take to notice effects of copper bisglycinate?

You may start noticing benefits within 1 week of supplementing with copper bisglycinate, though full effects typically take 4 to 12 weeks depending on your baseline copper status. Individual timelines vary based on how depleted your copper levels are and how your body absorbs this highly bioavailable form.
