Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.

RiskLow Risk

Overview

•Copper at 3mg exceeds RDA (0.9mg) but is well below UL (10mg), posing low risk for healthy adults with no deficiency.
•Glycinate form enhances absorption, reducing GI side effect risk compared to inorganic copper salts; potential mild nausea if taken empty stomach.
•No significant drug interactions reported for copper; however, high zinc intake (>50mg/day) may reduce copper absorption.
•Safe for most adults but contraindicated in Wilson's disease or acute liver/kidney issues; consult physician for pregnancy, nursing, or medication use.
•Free of common allergens (wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, sesame), low sensitivity risk.
•Long-term use at this dose unlikely to cause accumulation in healthy individuals; monitor copper status if supplementing >6 months.
