Why might someone take a copper supplement?

Copper contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal function of the immune system and nervous system, and the maintenance of normal connective tissue, and it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. A food supplement like this can help top up copper intake alongside a varied and balanced diet.

What is chelated copper, and how is it different from other forms?

In this product, copper is bound to an amino acid (bisglycinate) to form a chelate, rather than being supplied as a standard copper salt.

• Not suitable for anyone with a condition affecting copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease, except on medical advice.
• Do not exceed the stated dose of one tablet a day.
• If you take a multivitamin or other supplement that also contains copper, take this into account so your total daily intake from all sources stays within a safe level.
