NOW Foods Copper Glycinate 120 Tablets

NOW® Copper Glycinate delivers 3 mg of elemental copper as gentle, well-absorbed Albion™ copper bisglycinate, complemented by an organic fruit and veggie blend. Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in energy production, iron metabolism, connective-tissue synthesis and neurotransmitter production.* It is also important for bone, cardiovascular, neurological and skin health and for the body's antioxidant defenses.* Using a chelated glycinate form for good absorption and adding a whole-food blend of cauliflower, spinach, carrot, beet, tomato and berries, this is a thoughtfully rounded way to supplement an often-overlooked essential mineral.*

About the key ingredients

• Copper (elemental, from Copper Bisglycinate, Albion™) – 3 mg: A highly absorbable, chelated form of the essential trace mineral copper, which supports energy production, iron metabolism, connective-tissue and collagen formation, and the body's antioxidant defenses.* Learn more about Copper from the NIH.
• Organic Fruit & Veggie Blend – 50 mg: A whole-food blend of organic cauliflower, spinach, carrot, beet, tomato, blueberry, cranberry, cherry, raspberry and strawberry that adds naturally occurring plant compounds.*
• Other ingredients: NOW® uses simple, functional excipients — typically a plant-based hypromellose (cellulose) capsule or a light tablet coating plus flow agents such as stearic acid and silicon dioxide — with no unnecessary fillers, artificial colors or preservatives.

Who it's for

Copper Glycinate suits adults who want to supplement an essential trace mineral that is easy to overlook — particularly people who take zinc regularly, since higher zinc intake can increase the body's need for copper and the two are best kept in balance.* It appeals to those focused on connective-tissue, skin, bone and cardiovascular health who prefer a gentle, chelated mineral with an added whole-food blend.* As a tablet free from common allergens, it fits easily into a broader mineral routine.*

Suggested use

Take 1 tablet daily with a meal. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Frequently asked questions

What does copper do in the body?
Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in energy production, iron metabolism, the synthesis of connective tissue and collagen, neurotransmitter production and antioxidant defense.* It supports bone, cardiovascular, neurological and skin health, making it a small but important part of overall wellness.*

Why take copper with zinc?
Zinc and copper compete for absorption, so consistently high zinc intake can lower copper status over time. Many people who supplement zinc add a modest amount of copper to keep the two minerals in a healthier balance — a common reason to choose a standalone copper like this one.*

Why the glycinate form?
This product uses Albion™ copper bisglycinate, a chelated form in which copper is bound to the amino acid glycine. Chelated minerals are generally chosen for good absorption and gentleness, and here it delivers a precise 3 mg dose.*

Cautions & interactions

Copper and zinc compete for absorption, so if you take zinc regularly, keep the two in balance and talk to your doctor about appropriate amounts rather than taking high doses of both.* Take copper a few hours apart from high-dose iron or antacids, which can affect mineral absorption. Talk to your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition — including any condition affecting copper metabolism. Keep out of reach of children and do not exceed recommended amounts.
