Product insights

  • Thorne's Copper Bisglycinate utilizes the TRAACS® copper bisglycinate chelate, ensuring optimal absorption and bioavailability compared to other forms of copper.
  • Copper is crucial for the activity of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme essential for crosslinking collagen and elastin, thereby supporting the integrity of connective tissues and blood vessels.
  • As a component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), copper plays a vital role in antioxidant defense, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting overall cellular health.
  • Copper is essential for iron metabolism, facilitating the absorption and utilization of iron, which is critical for healthy red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
