This high-dose copper complex contains 3mg pure copper per capsule with an optimal ratio of three organic copper compounds: copper citrate, copper gluconate, and copper bisglycinate (chelate). This complex has been formulated for particularly high bioavailability in bodily copper metabolism. It contains pure substances in pure capsule shells made from plant-based cellulose that are free from carrageenans and PEG. Vegan, no additives. 2x120 capsules.

Variety of forms: three organic copper compounds
Copper citrate, copper gluconate and copper bisglycinate in a 1:1:1 ratio
Synergy effect of all the benefits of the individual compounds: ideal absorption, bioavailability and tolerability
Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue and normal hair and skin pigmentation
Copper contributes to the normal function of the nervous and immune systems as well as normal energy metabolism and iron transport in the body
Copper helps to protect cells from oxidative stress
Highly dosed with a full 3mg of copper per capsule
With natural, fibre-rich filler gum arabic from sustainable cultivation
Without additives, without genetic engineering and 100% vegan

Copper complex of three organic copper compounds
Copper citrate, copper gluconate and copper bisglycinate in a 1:1:1 ratio
Synergy effect of all the advantages of the individual compounds
Copper citrate: slightly alkaline pH value, readily available and well tolerated without neutralising stomach acid
Copper gluconate: very well absorbable due to fruit acid chelate with gluconic acid
Copper bisglycinate: bound to the amino acid glycine, particularly high bioavailability
Ideal absorption, bioavailability and tolerability of all three copper compounds
Highly dosed with 3mg of copper per capsule
Only pure substances in food quality, no additives
High-fiber gum arabic as a natural filler

This mixture of three copper compounds in one balanced complex is inspired by the composition of copper in natural foods, in which copper is never isolated, but rather present in various forms. Pure copper citrate or copper glycinate are typically found on the market, but these compounds are not as easily absorbed by all people. We use three important and organic copper compounds in an optimal ratio of qual proprotions to balance their benefits. Each compound has its own effect profile and can be best absorbed in different tissues (skin, hair, nerves, connective tissue). This mixture thus offers comprehensive coverage for different parts of the body.

Copper citrate is a salt of citric acid that is an organic and slightly basic substance that naturally occurs in the body. Neither citric acid nor citrate salts cause allergic reactions in those who are allergic to oranges or citrus fruits. Due to their basic pH value, citrate salts are bioavailable and easily digested without neutralising stomach acid or alkalising the intestines. Copper bonded with gluconic acid is also well-absorbed by the body, and the copper chelate (copper bisglycinate) is highly bioavailable. Its bonded amino acid glycine contributes to numerous metabolic processes.

The filler, which is made of premium gum arabic grown without pesticides, is the only additive. In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, which is often synthetic and high in nanoparticles, we use a 100% natural and fibre-rich food as a filler. Our gum arabic comes from sustainable, climate-neutral, resource-conserving and fair cultivation.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass jars.

Effects

Copper is a component of a range of enzymes and many redox reactions. The main function of this trace element is its contribution to haematopoiesis, energy metabolism and antioxidative defence.

Without copper, iron is unavailable for hematopoiesis, and as a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, copper is required for energy metabolism. As a cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, it protects cells from oxidative stress. As a cofactor, copper is responsible for melanin production in skin and hair and contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue.

Our copper complex contains three forms of copper in an optimal ratio of equal parts copper citrate, copper gluconate, and copper bisglycinate. Each compound has a different effect profile within bodily copper metabolism. Just as copper never occurs isolated in natural foods, our complex offers different copper compounds for ideal absorption, bioavailability and a comprehensive supply of copper to the cells.

Copper citrate

Copper citrate is one of the most common copper compounds in food supplements. Citrate supports the absorption of copper and works together synergistically with copper in energy metabolism.

Copper bisglycinate

Our copper bisglycinate is an organic copper chelate in which copper is bonded with the amino acid L-glycine. Copper bisglycinate has a particularly high biovailability.

Copper gluconate

Copper bonded with gluconic acid as a fruit acid chelate rounds off the mixture of organic copper compounds. Gluconate is well-absorbed by the body and correspondingly supports the absorption of the trace element bonded with it.

The combination of these three copper compounds, rather than isolates, maximises their absorption into the body as well as the effect of copper on energy metabolism (citrate) and blood and collagen formation (bisglycinate).

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Copper contributes to:

Maintenance of normal connective tissue
Normal energy metabolism
Normal functioning of the nervous system
Normal hair pigmentation
Normal iron transport in the body
Normal skin pigmentation
Normal function of the immune system
The protection of cells from oxidative stress
