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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Zinc and Copper Together?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune function support\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin C supports white blood cell production and function.
