Product Description
Thorne's Copper Bisglycinate delivers this essential trace mineral in a well-absorbed form, supporting blood vessel, nerve, and skin health, along with strong bones, connective tissue, and cellular energy production throughout the body, especially important if you're also supplementing with zinc.
If you've been taking a zinc supplement for immune support during heavy training, especially at doses above 40 to 50mg for an extended stretch, you're also creating a copper deficiency risk.
Closes the gap zinc supplementation creates – Copper and zinc compete for absorption, and extended high-dose zinc use is a well-documented path to copper deficiency if it isn't balanced out.
Protects red blood cells and fat cells from oxidation – Copper is a component of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's core antioxidant enzymes, and a clinical setting has shown copper supplementation protects red blood cells from oxidative damage specifically.
A well-absorbed chelate, not a standard mineral salt – This uses the TRAACS Copper Bisglycinate Chelate form, built for better absorption than standard copper salts.
Copper is a trace mineral involved in bone health, connective tissue formation, cardiovascular function, lipid metabolism, neurological health, and skin health, largely through its role as a cofactor for several enzymes, including superoxide dismutase. A copper deficiency makes several cell types, including red blood cells and fat cells, more vulnerable to oxidative damage. Because copper and zinc share an absorption pathway, taking zinc without adequate copper alongside it is one of the more common ways people end up deficient without realizing why.
How to Use Thorne Copper Bisglycinate
Dose: Take one capsule one to three times daily, or as recommended by your health professional.
If you're taking Zinc: Pair this alongside it rather than treating copper as an afterthought, since the two minerals need to stay in balance for either to do its job properly.
