Thorne Copper Bisglycinate-60 Capsules

Copper is a vital trace mineral that supports various aspects of health, including bone and connective tissue integrity, cardiovascular function, lipid metabolism, neurological well-being, and skin health. It also plays a key role in the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. However, since copper and zinc compete for absorption, high zinc intake can lead to copper deficiency, increasing the risk of oxidation in cells like fat and blood cells. To counter this, it’s advisable to pair zinc supplementation with copper. In clinical settings, copper supplementation has shown to protect red blood cells from oxidative damage, making Thorne’s Copper Bisglycinate a well-absorbed option for those needing copper support.
