Copper is a trace mineral that you only need in small amounts, but you do need it. Copper bisglycinate from Swanson provides 2 mg of copper per tablet, in a chelated form from the Albion brand. One tablet a day is enough. Convenient for those who want to supplement their copper intake, for example as a supplement alongside zinc.
Copper bisglycinate is copper bound to the amino acid glycine. This binding is called a chelate. Swanson uses Albion's chelated copper for this, a manufacturer known for this type of mineral compound. Each tablet contains 2 mg of copper, which is 200% of the reference intake. Copper is considered a trace mineral, which means you only need it in small amounts. Nevertheless, it is essential, because it is involved in numerous enzymes. A fixed, small daily amount is therefore preferable to an occasional large dose.
Copper is involved in more processes than many people think. For example, copper contributes to a normal energy-producing metabolism and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. In addition, copper contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and contributes to normal iron transport in the body. Your connective tissue also benefits: copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. Furthermore, copper contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. And a lesser-known one: copper contributes to the normal pigmentation of the hair and contributes to the normal pigmentation of the skin.
Many people wonder why you would choose chelated copper. In a chelate, the mineral is bound to an amino acid, in this case glycine. Good to know: copper and zinc keep each other in balance. Those who take extra zinc for a long time therefore often also choose some copper to keep that ratio in check.
This copper bisglycinate from Swanson is suitable for adults who want to supplement their copper intake, or who want to add a little copper alongside zinc. Copper is naturally found in foods such as nuts, seeds, whole grain products, and shellfish. Copper is a mineral that people rarely consciously pay attention to, while it is involved in all kinds of processes. Those who use a lot of zinc often choose a small, fixed daily amount of copper. A bottle contains no less than 300 tablets, enough for almost a year at one tablet per day.
In short, copper bisglycinate is a chelated way to supplement your daily copper. One tablet per day provides 2 mg of copper, bound to glycine.
The copper is bound to the amino acid glycine. Swanson uses Albion chelated copper for this purpose.
Each tablet provides 2 mg of copper, which is 200% of the daily reference intake. Therefore, one tablet per day is sufficient.
Copper and zinc keep each other in balance. Anyone taking extra zinc for a longer period of time often supplements with some copper to maintain this ratio.
One jar contains 300 tablets. With one tablet per day, you'll have almost a year's supply, without having to reorder frequently.

Each tablet contains 2 mg of copper, derived from Albion copper bisglycinate chelate. This corresponds to 200% of the daily reference intake. One tablet per day is therefore more than sufficient to supplement your intake.
Copper and zinc work in balance with each other in your body. If you take a higher dose of zinc for a longer period, it can affect that balance. Many people therefore add some copper to maintain the ratio between the two minerals.
These tablets are not listed as vegan. They do not contain gelatin, but they do contain a glazing agent that may be of animal origin. If you want to be sure of a completely plant-based product, please contact our customer service in advance.
You only need copper in small amounts. With a tablet of 2 mg per day, you stay within a sensible intake. If you combine this with other supplements that contain copper, monitor your total intake and do not exceed the recommended dosage.
Copper is involved in various processes. For example, copper contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal functioning of the immune system. Copper also contributes to normal iron transport in the body. You normally get it through food such as nuts, seeds and shellfish.
Chelated means that the mineral is bound to an amino acid, in this case glycine. That is the difference with loose, inorganic copper compounds.
