What is Copper Glycinate ?
Copper Glycinate, molecular formula: C4H8N2O4Cu, theoretical copper content: 30.03% (anhydrous), is a blue powder, odorless, and insoluble in water and ethanol.
Copper glycinate, as an amino acid copper salt, has a completely different absorption mechanism from inorganic copper salts or other organic copper salts: the copper ion will bond with the amino acid ligand in the form of covalent bonds and ionic bonds, thereby being protected in the core of the complex, and will pass through the mucosal cell membrane, mucosal cells and basal cell membrane as a whole into the blood and be absorbed by the body. The copper ion bioabsorption rate of this transport method is better and safer, and it is more suitable as a food copper supplement and copper dietary supplement.
1. High Bioavailability:
• One of the key features of Copper Glycinate is its high bioavailability. The chelation with glycine ensures that the body efficiently absorbs and utilizes the copper, making it an ideal supplement for individuals needing enhanced copper intake.
2. No Metallic Taste:
• Unlike other copper salts that may leave an unpleasant metallic aftertaste, Copper Glycinate has no metallic taste, making it more palatable in dietary supplements and functional foods.
3. Gentle on the Digestive System:
• Copper Glycinate is easier on the stomach compared to other forms of copper, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort that sometimes accompanies copper supplementation.
4. Food Grade Organic Copper Salt:
• Produced to food-grade standards, Copper Glycinate ensures safety, purity, and effectiveness in products intended for human consumption.
5. Stable Formulation:
• Copper Glycinate is stable in a variety of formulations, ensuring long-term potency and effectiveness throughout the shelf life of the product.

1. Copper Dietary Supplements:
• Copper Glycinate is widely used in dietary supplements such as capsules, tablets, and powders due to its high bioavailability and no metallic taste. It is an essential mineral for those looking to maintain immune function, skin health, and energy metabolism.
2. Fortified Foods and Beverages:
• As a food-grade organic copper salt, Copper Glycinate can be incorporated into functional foods and beverages that are designed to enhance copper intake. It can be added to fortified drinks, nutrition bars, and meal replacements.
3. Animal Feed:
• Copper Glycinate is also used in animal nutrition to support growth, immune health, and reproductive function in livestock and poultry.
4. Pharmaceuticals:
• In pharmaceutical applications, Copper Glycinate is used in formulations aimed at treating copper deficiency and supporting general health in individuals with increased copper needs.
Benefits of Copper Glycinate
1. Enhanced Absorption:
• Copper Glycinate offers superior absorption compared to inorganic copper salts, ensuring that the body receives an adequate and effective dose of copper for its essential functions.
2. No Unpleasant Aftertaste:
• One of the standout benefits of Copper Glycinate is its lack of a metallic taste, making it ideal for supplements that aim to deliver copper in a more palatable form.
3. Supports Vital Health Functions:
• Copper is an essential mineral involved in numerous bodily functions, including immune support, iron metabolism, collagen formation, and energy production. Copper Glycinate helps fulfill these needs more efficiently than many other forms of copper.
4. Safe for Long-Term Use:
• Copper Glycinate is generally considered safe for long-term supplementation. Its gentle nature and bioavailable form make it suitable for daily intake to maintain optimal copper levels.
5. Versatile Applications:
• From dietary supplements to fortified foods and animal feed, Copper Glycinate is a versatile and effective ingredient used across a wide range of industries.
