This **copper** supplement provides 4mg of elemental copper per two-softgel serving in a well-absorbed glycinate form — over four times the ~0.9mg daily requirement, but still well under the 10mg safety ceiling. Copper helps build collagen and connective tissue, which is why it's tagged for skin support, and also aids iron metabolism and antioxidant defense.

The honest context: copper is a trace mineral most people already get from food, so taking it on its own is rarely necessary. Where it genuinely matters is balance — high-dose zinc (above ~50mg/day) competes with copper for absorption and can deplete it over time. If you supplement zinc heavily, this is the gap it fills.

At 4mg, you're getting a generous dose that comfortably offsets heavy zinc intake without approaching the upper limit. If you're not taking zinc, you likely don't need it — your diet already covers copper.
