Description

Copper is a trace mineral that is essential for bone health, connective tissue health, cardiovascular health, lipid metabolism, neurological health, and skin health.* It's also a component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Because copper and zinc compete with each other for absorption, an individual taking a high amount of zinc (for example, 50 mg daily for an extended time period) can develop a copper deficiency. A copper deficiency can render many cell types, including fat cells and blood cells, more susceptible to oxidation.* For this reason, zinc supplementation should be accompanied by copper supplementation.* In a clinical setting, copper supplementation protected red blood cells from oxidation.* Thorne's Copper Bisglycinate provides an optimally absorbed form of copper.*

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Copper Bisglycinate worth buying if I already take a zinc supplement?

Yes, absolutely. High zinc intake — especially 50 mg daily over extended periods — directly competes with copper absorption and can lead to deficiency. Copper Bisglycinate is an ideal pairing to restore balance. The bisglycinate form is highly bioavailable, meaning your body absorbs it efficiently. If you take significant amounts of zinc regularly, adding a copper supplement is a smart, targeted investment in your overall health.

Where can I buy Copper Bisglycinate and does it come with a satisfaction guarantee?

Copper Bisglycinate is available directly on our website, ensuring you receive a fresh, authentic product. We stand behind our supplements with a customer satisfaction guarantee — if you're not happy with your purchase, contact our support team. Buying direct also gives you access to the best pricing, bundle options, and faster shipping compared to third-party retailers.

What is Copper Bisglycinate and why is the bisglycinate form important?

Copper Bisglycinate is a chelated form of copper, meaning the mineral is bound to two glycine amino acids. This chelation makes it significantly easier for the body to absorb compared to other copper forms like copper oxide. The bisglycinate form is also gentler on the stomach, making it a preferred choice for those wanting effective, well-tolerated copper supplementation.

What are the main health benefits of taking a copper supplement?

Copper supports multiple body systems including bone and connective tissue health, cardiovascular function, healthy lipid metabolism, neurological function, and skin health. It's also a key component of superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage. Maintaining adequate copper levels is essential for overall wellness, especially for those with increased mineral demands.

What are signs that I might have a copper deficiency?

Copper deficiency can affect multiple cell types, including fat cells, and may show up as fatigue, weakened immunity, poor bone density, or neurological changes. Long-term high-dose zinc supplementation is a common cause of copper depletion since the two minerals compete for absorption. If you experience these symptoms and supplement with zinc, consulting a healthcare provider about copper levels is recommended.

How much copper do I need daily and is it safe to supplement?

The recommended daily intake for copper is approximately 900 mcg for adults, with an established upper limit of 10 mg per day. Copper Bisglycinate supplements are generally safe when taken as directed. However, it's always best to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take zinc or have an existing health condition.
