Special Import - Now Foods Copper Gycinate - 120 Tablets

Description:

Now Foods Copper Glycinate is a dietary mineral supplement formulated to provide a bioavailable form of copper, an essential trace element involved in numerous physiological processes. Each tablet delivers copper bound to the amino acid glycine (copper glycinate), which is designed to enhance absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance compared with some other copper salts. This supplement is intended to support normal iron metabolism, red blood cell formation, connective tissue integrity, antioxidant defense, and proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems. It is suitable for adults looking to maintain adequate copper levels, especially when dietary intake may be insufficient or when increased needs are identified by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Supports individuals with low dietary intake of copper or increased physiological needs for copper, as assessed by a healthcare provider.
• Helps maintain normal iron metabolism and may be used alongside iron supplements under medical supervision.
• Supports formation and maintenance of healthy connective tissues (skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage).
• Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and brain health.
• Supports immune system function and normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Provides antioxidant support by contributing to the activity of copper-dependent enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Copper (as copper glycinate) – typical Now Foods copper glycinate products provide around 2 mg copper per tablet; the exact copper content for this specific product is not confirmed and is therefore not available For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.
• Other ingredients (excipients such as tablet binders, fillers, and coating agents) – specific excipient list and concentrations are not available For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

• Use only under medical supervision if you are also taking zinc, iron, or other mineral supplements, as these nutrients can interact and affect each other’s absorption.

Clinical Benefits:

• Supports normal iron metabolism and red blood cell formation by contributing to iron transport and utilization.
• Helps maintain healthy connective tissue, including skin, bones, blood vessels, and cartilage, through its role in collagen and elastin cross-linking.
• Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and brain by supporting copper-dependent enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis.
• Provides antioxidant support by participating in enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, which help protect cells from oxidative damage.
• Supports normal immune system function and overall metabolic health.
• Bioavailable copper glycinate form is designed for improved absorption and may be gentler on the stomach compared with some other copper forms.

Warnings & Contraindications:
