This standalone **copper** supplement delivers 2mg of elemental copper per capsule — sitting right at the top of the supplemental range and well under the 10mg safety ceiling. Its real value is balance: zinc and copper compete for absorption, and sustained high-dose zinc (above ~50mg daily) can slowly deplete your copper, so this is the counterweight that keeps the two in check.

The bisglycinate form is well absorbed and gentle on the stomach, so you're getting close to the full 2mg per capsule. Beyond the zinc trade-off, copper helps build collagen and connective tissue, which is where its modest skin relevance comes from.

One honest caveat: copper is a trace mineral most people already get enough of from food and multivitamins, so standalone supplementation is rarely needed unless your zinc intake is consistently high. If that's you, one capsule covers it — there's no reason to take more.
