Copper Bisglycinate Supplement Powder 3g

What is copper bisglycinate?

Copper bisglycinate is a chelated form of copper in which the mineral is bound to two glycine molecules. This amino-acid chelate — the Albion® mineral chelate — is chosen because it tends to be well absorbed and gentle on the stomach compared with basic copper salts like copper oxide or sulfate.

Chelation wraps the copper in amino acids, helping it stay stable through digestion and reducing the harsh, metallic edge some people get from cheaper copper forms. It is the same category of chelate used for well-absorbed forms of iron and magnesium.

What does copper do in the body?

Copper is an essential trace mineral your body cannot make on its own. It contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, iron metabolism, connective tissue, energy production, nervous-system function, and antioxidant defense.

Copper acts as a cofactor for enzymes that cross-link collagen and elastin (connective tissue and blood-vessel structure), drive mitochondrial energy production, and power the copper-zinc form of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s own antioxidant enzymes. These are normal nutritional roles of the mineral — this is a dietary supplement, not a treatment for any condition.

Do I still need copper if I take zinc?

Often, yes. Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut, so taking significant zinc over time can gradually lower your copper status. People supplementing meaningful amounts of zinc frequently add copper to keep the two minerals in balance.

A common approach is to keep zinc and copper in a sensible ratio; your protocol or healthcare provider can tell you how much copper fits your zinc intake.

Why powder instead of capsules?

Powder gives you dose flexibility a fixed capsule cannot. With the included micro scoop you can take a small or larger amount and fine-tune copper to what your protocol calls for — useful when you are titrating up slowly or holding a maintenance dose.

How much copper is in the 3g jar?

The 3g jar contains about 780 mg of elemental copper in total — copper bisglycinate is roughly 26% copper by weight. You control each dose with the included micro scoop rather than getting a fixed amount.

Copper bisglycinate powder is an efficient way to buy copper. Popular pill-based copper bisglycinate runs about $16 for roughly 120 mg of copper — so the ~780 mg in this 3g jar would cost about $110.76 bought as pills. At $29.99, the jar is a fraction of that.

How do I measure a dose?

Use the included 2-in-1 Static-Free Micro Scoop. The small side holds about 10–15 mg of powder (about 2.6–3.9 mg of elemental copper) and the large side about 25–30 mg of powder (about 6.5–7.8 mg of copper).

Because a little goes a long way, measure carefully and follow the amount your protocol or provider specifies.

Who is the powder for?

The powder is built for people following the Mineral Optimization Protocol or a practitioner-guided plan who want to control their copper dose precisely. Take as directed by that protocol or your healthcare provider, and pair copper thoughtfully with other minerals such as zinc.
