Chelated Copper, 100 Tablets, 2.5 mg per Tablet

Solgar Chelated Copper is a dietary supplement centered on copper in a chelated trace-mineral form. Copper is required by enzymes involved in iron metabolism, connective-tissue crosslinking, antioxidant defense, neurotransmitter synthesis, and energy metabolism. The body tightly regulates copper because both inadequate and excessive intake can disrupt normal physiology. A chelated mineral form binds copper to an organic ligand, which is used in supplement design to improve stability and handling in the gastrointestinal tract. Copper status is especially relevant when high-dose zinc is used for long periods, because zinc can reduce copper absorption. From a nutrition perspective, the value of this type of supplement is its ability to provide a measured, repeatable amount of the target nutrient or bioactive compound when food intake, lifestyle, or individual needs make consistent intake difficult. Evidence for nutritional support depends on baseline status, diet, dose, and individual factors; this product is intended to complement, not replace, a balanced diet.

Adults take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Avoid unnecessary high-dose copper if you have a disorder of copper metabolism. Consider total zinc and copper intake when using long-term mineral supplements. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. If pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. Store as directed on the label.
