The Form of Copper We Carry

What the Research Shows

Copper bisglycinate chelate (Albion TRAACS) demonstrates superior bioavailability compared to copper sulfate and copper oxide. The chelated form is gentle on the GI tract and does not compete with zinc for absorption when taken at appropriate ratios. Research supports copper supplementation for individuals with marginal intake, particularly those supplementing zinc at higher doses.

How to Choose the Right Form
