Supplementing

Where can I get copper bisglycinate supplements?

The short answer

A good number of supplement brands offer copper bisglycinate. See our product directory listings on the Buy page for options.

How to choose one

The main thing to verify is that you're getting the true chelated form. Check the Supplement Facts panel for one of these:

  • Copper bisglycinate
  • Copper diglycinate
  • TRAACS® Copper Bisglycinate Chelate (the branded, patented form from Balchem)
  • Albion® Copper Bisglycinate (older naming, same manufacturer)

Most products supply about 2 mg of elemental copper per capsule, which is a sensible dose for most people. For more on the label and naming, see is copper glycinate the same as copper bisglycinate?

A quick dosing check before you buy

If you already take a multivitamin with copper, or a zinc supplement, factor that in when choosing a dose — our guide on how much copper bisglycinate to take per day walks through it.
