Copper is essential for the body to manufacture and maintain collagen, the structural protein that comprises most of our tissues, including skin, joint cartilage, muscles, bones and blood vessels. Additionally, your immune system depends on copper. Unfortunately, the importance of copper has been overlooked and overshadowed by its antagonist, zinc. When we supplement large doses of zinc (i.e. 50 mg or higher), it competes with dietary copper for uptake into the bloodstream and can result in copper deficiency. This will negatively affect oxygen utilization and immune function. In addition, zinc-induced copper deficiency (sometimes also called zinc dominance) can lead to neutropenia, a low white blood cell count, specifically of neutrophils. In this situation, there’s a decreased resistance to bacterial infections, with reduced ability to fight them off once they’ve started.

Non-chelated copper is poorly absorbed. Chelating (i.e. attaching) copper to the smallest amino acid, glycine, provides optimal absorption from the gut into the blood, and increased bioavailability to the tissues. Pure Lab Vitamins Copper Glycinate is formulated with nature’s smallest essential amino acid, glycine, for optimal absorption from the gut into the bloodstream. At just 1 milligram per capsule, it provides flexibility. Individuals with diagnosed copper deficiency can take two capsules daily. Copper in the 1 milligram dosage can also safely be used alongside zinc supplementation in the proper ratio in individuals whose trace minerals need replenishment—without the concern of overshooting the goal of topping up the levels of either one.
