Copper bisglycinate - 2 mg elemental copper per daily dose (1 capsule) - 120 capsules

Why the body needs copper every day

Copper is an essential trace element. This means that it must be obtained through the diet because the body cannot produce it on its own. Copper plays an important role in many different areas of the body, including the immune system, energy production, the nervous system, connective tissue, iron transport for blood formation, and the pigmentation of skin and hair.*

A gentle approach to a strong bond: copper glycinate

In Copper Bisglycinate capsules from Unimedica, copper is present in a chelated form as glycinate. This means that the copper is bound to the amino acid glycine. This stable chelate compound is formed by binding one copper ion to two glycine molecules (copper bisglycinate). This allows the copper to pass through the stomach and reach the intestine unaffected by stomach acid, from where it can be distributed by the body to where it is needed.

These foods are also rich sources of copper

Among everyday foods, some of the best sources of copper include cocoa, nuts, legumes, whole-grain products and organ meats, as well as fish and seafood. Cocoa and dark chocolate are particularly rich in copper, containing approximately 4,150 μg of copper per 100 g.

A gentle supplement for specific needs

Our Copper Bisglycinate can reliably supplement the daily intake of copper from food in a convenient and gentle way. Even with a balanced diet, individual trace elements do not always receive the same targeted attention as the vitamin or protein content of a meal. The copper in our Copper Bisglycinate capsules is standardised to 2 mg per capsule. Thanks to its special formulation, copper glycinate is also suitable for people with a more sensitive stomach or digestive system and, in capsule form, is conveniently available at any time – even when travelling.
