Copper (Copper Gluconate) 2mg | 365 Tablets | Vit4ever

Copper from Vit4ever

Copper is a trace element that you probably don't think about very often. Vit4ever provides it in the form of copper gluconate, with 2 mg of copper per tablet. That is 200 percent of the reference intake per tablet. A bottle contains 365 vegan tablets, enough for a whole year at one tablet per day. The formula has been deliberately kept simple, without unnecessary additives.

Copper as copper gluconate, which means that

In this product, copper is bound to gluconate, a salt form of gluconic acid. Copper gluconate is a widely used copper compound in supplements, partly because it is stable and easy to process into a tablet. Other forms also exist, such as copper bisglycinate or copper oxide, but copper gluconate is one of the most commonly used variants in the supplement industry, partly due to its good stability during production and the long shelf life of the tablet. In addition to the copper source, each tablet contains only microcrystalline cellulose as a filler. This is a plant-based fiber that serves as a binding agent. Nothing else has been added: no magnesium stearate, no colorings, no preservatives.

What copper is used for in your body

Copper contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the nervous system, and to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. In addition, copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body. That is why copper is sometimes mentioned in the same breath as iron, even though they are two completely different minerals with their own role. Copper also contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue, to normal pigmentation of hair and skin, and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.

A trace element, not a main player in quantity

Many people wonder why you only need so little copper compared to, for example, magnesium or calcium. Copper is a trace element for which the body needs small amounts. The 2 mg per tablet in this product is above the daily reference intake. Copper occurs naturally in, among others, shellfish, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

Vegan, pure and a year's supply

The tablets are 100 percent vegan and contain no unnecessary additives. They are free from magnesium stearate, colorings, preservatives, gelatin, lactose, and gluten. Yet it is not only vegans who choose these tablets: people who simply want a short list of ingredients also benefit from this type of simple formula. With 365 tablets and one per day, you have a supply for a whole year at once, without having to reorder in between. Each batch is independently tested in a laboratory for content and purity, so you can trust that there really is 2 mg of copper in each tablet and no more or less than stated on the label.
