Chelated Copper — typical dose 2 mg
We don’t sell Copper Bisglycinate. Whether you actually need it — and at what dose — depends on your bloodwork. Get your analysis to find out.
What it does
Copper bisglycinate is a gentle, highly bioavailable form of copper essential for collagen synthesis, iron metabolism, and nervous system function. Supplementation is necessary when taking zinc, as zinc competes with copper for absorption — a 15 mg zinc dose requires 2 mg copper to maintain the optimal 8:1 ratio.
Key benefits
- Collagen formation
- Iron metabolism
- Nervous system
- Zinc balance
The evidence
Well-established that zinc supplementation depletes copper over time. 2 mg copper maintains the physiological 8:1 zinc-to-copper ratio. Bisglycinate form minimises GI irritation.
