Copper Bisglycinate
Copper is essential for maintaining bone strength, cardiovascular function, and the antioxidant defenses your body relies on during intense training and recovery. If you're taking zinc supplementation as part of your wellness routine, adding copper ensures you're supporting optimal mineral balance and protecting your cells from oxidative stress.
Thorne Copper Bisglycinate provides copper in a highly absorbable bisglycinate form, supporting bone integrity, connective tissue, cardiovascular function, and neurological health. It is especially relevant for those supplementing with zinc, as copper and zinc compete for absorption and balanced intake of both supports overall cellular wellness.
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.*Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Why would someone taking zinc also need a copper supplement?
Copper and zinc compete for absorption in the body, so sustained high zinc intake can affect copper levels. Supplementing with copper alongside zinc helps support balanced trace mineral status.
