Description
Copper is a trace mineral that’s easy to overlook until zinc intake climbs, since higher-dose zinc supplementation can pull copper levels down over time. Thorne Copper Bisglycinate provides 2 mg of copper per capsule in a chelated TRAACS form, designed for straightforward absorption.
Copper contributes to connective tissue formation, which supports skin, bones, and blood vessels, and it plays a role in normal nerve function, cardiovascular wellness, and lipid metabolism. It’s also part of the body’s antioxidant enzyme systems, including superoxide dismutase activity, which helps manage everyday oxidative stress.
This is a targeted mineral, so we generally recommend it for adults who are already taking meaningful amounts of zinc under a practitioner’s guidance and need copper to keep their overall mineral intake balanced, rather than as a casual add-on to a general multivitamin.
Check with your practitioner before starting, especially if you’re pregnant, have Wilson disease, elevated copper status, liver concerns, or already take other copper-containing supplements, or if you have a known sensitivity to any listed ingredient.
Key ingredients: Copper (as TRAACS Copper Bisglycinate Chelate) — 2 mg.
