Frequently Asked Questions
Is copper supplementation safe? +
Copper is essential for human health, but the margin between sufficient and excessive intake is narrower than with some other minerals. At the recommended dose in this product (typically 1-2 mg), copper supplementation is safe for most adults.
Why do I need copper if I'm taking zinc? +
Zinc and copper are metabolic antagonists, high zinc intake reduces copper absorption by inducing intestinal metallothionein, a protein that binds copper and prevents its transport into the bloodstream. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain.
What are signs of copper deficiency? +
Copper deficiency is less common than zinc or magnesium deficiency but can cause: fatigue and anemia (copper is needed for iron metabolism), neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness, balance issues), premature gray hair, poor wound healing, and.
Is there a risk of copper toxicity? +
At supplemental doses of 1 to 2 mg daily, copper toxicity is not a concern for healthy individuals. The tolerable upper limit for copper is 10 mg daily for adults. Individual needs vary, so finding your optimal dose may require some adjustment over.
Does copper affect skin and hair health? +
