Vitamin C with Zinc and Copper | Time Release | Immune Support | 60 Capsules

Each capsule delivers Vitamin C 850mg (ascorbic acid, time release), Zinc 15mg (zinc bisglycinate), and Copper 1mg (copper bisglycinate). Three nutrients in one formula, each supporting immune function and antioxidant protection through complementary mechanisms. Helps maintain immune function. An antioxidant for the maintenance of good health. Helps in collagen formation to maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. Helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Who This Is For

• Adolescents and adults 9 and over seeking daily immune function support and antioxidant protection from a three-nutrient formula
• Those who want Vitamin C, Zinc, and Copper together in a single daily capsule with balanced mineral ratios
• Those who want time-release Vitamin C for sustained blood levels throughout the day
• Those wanting chelated bisglycinate forms of Zinc and Copper for enhanced absorption and gastric tolerability
• Vegans and vegetarians seeking a fully plant-based capsule formula
• Those seeking a Canadian made supplement with full Health Canada licensing

Where Do These Ingredients Come From?

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is produced by fermentation of glucose derived from plant-based carbohydrate sources, yielding a compound chemically identical to the Vitamin C found naturally in fruits and vegetables. Zinc bisglycinate and copper bisglycinate are chelated mineral forms in which elemental zinc and copper are each bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid found naturally in protein containing foods. Chelation improves mineral absorption and reduces gastric irritation compared to inorganic mineral salts. 

Why Zinc and Copper Together?

Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the intestine via shared transport proteins. High zinc intake without adequate copper can progressively deplete copper status, impairing immune cell function, antioxidant enzyme activity, and iron metabolism. This formula provides zinc and copper in a 15:1 ratio (15mg zinc to 1mg copper), maintaining healthy mineral balance while delivering a meaningful zinc dose. Copper is also a required cofactor for copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body's primary antioxidant enzymes, making its inclusion functionally important beyond mineral balance alone.

Key Benefits

• Immune function support Vitamin C supports white blood cell production and function. Zinc is essential for immune cell development, thymus function, and immune signaling. Copper supports immune cell development and function
• Antioxidant protection Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and regenerates Vitamin E. Zinc supports antioxidant enzyme systems. Copper is a cofactor for copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD), a primary cellular antioxidant enzyme. 
• Collagen formation Vitamin C is a required cofactor for collagen synthesis enzymes. Copper is required for collagen and elastin cross-linking. Supports healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, gums, skin, and blood vessels.
• Macronutrient metabolism Supports the body's metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. 
• Time-release Vitamin C Sustained release over several hours. More consistent blood levels than immediate-release. Reduced urinary excretion of excess Vitamin C. Gentler on the stomach.
• Bisglycinate mineral forms Zinc bisglycinate and copper bisglycinate. Enhanced absorption and gastric tolerability compared to inorganic mineral salts.
• Balanced 15:1 zinc to copper ratio Prevents zinc-induced copper depletion. Maintains healthy mineral homeostasis.

How to Take Vitamin C with Zinc and Copper

Adolescents and adults 9 years of age and over: Take 1 capsule once per day with food. Taking with food enhances mineral absorption and reduces the likelihood of digestive discomfort. Zinc and copper supplements should be taken at least 2 hours apart from antibiotics.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly sealed after each use. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety and Cautions

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medications, or have a medical condition. Individuals with Wilson's disease (copper metabolism disorder) or hemochromatosis should consult their healthcare provider before use. Zinc and copper may interact with certain medications including antibiotics and penicillamine. Take at least 2 hours apart from antibiotics. Keep out of reach of children.
