L-OptiZinc® 30mg + Copper Bisglycinate 0.3mg (60 Capsules)
L-OptiZinc® is a patented form of zinc monomethionine — a chelated zinc compound in which zinc is bound to the amino acid methionine. This formulation pairs L-OptiZinc® with copper bisglycinate at a 100:1 zinc-to-copper ratio, reflecting the established nutritional relationship between these two essential minerals.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes in the body. Copper is equally essential and is commonly included alongside zinc supplementation to support mineral balance.
About L-OptiZinc®
L-OptiZinc® is a registered trademark of Lonza. The zinc monomethionine form has been studied for its absorption characteristics and is considered a well-tolerated form of zinc supplementation. The methionine complex is generally gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for daily use with food.
Why Zinc & Copper Together
Zinc and copper share absorption pathways in the body, meaning that supplementing with zinc alone over time may affect copper status. Including copper bisglycinate at a 100:1 ratio is a common formulation approach to support mineral balance when supplementing with zinc. Copper bisglycinate is a chelated form of copper considered to have good bioavailability.
