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.

Nutritional Role of Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in:

  • Normal immune system function
  • Skin health and wound healing support
  • Antioxidant enzyme activity (as a cofactor for superoxide dismutase)
  • Normal cognitive function
  • Reproductive and hormonal health
  • Normal growth and development

Nutritional Role of Copper

Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in:

  • Normal iron metabolism
  • Antioxidant enzyme activity (as a cofactor for superoxide dismutase alongside zinc)
  • Normal nervous system function
  • Connective tissue formation

How to Use

Take 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Precautions
