Ingredients explained
Zinc (as Zinc L-Methionine Sulfate)
Zinc functions as a cofactor for many enzymes involved in immune cell signaling and antioxidant defense, and the L-methionine form is designed to support absorption in the presence of dietary phytates.
Caution: High zinc intake may reduce copper status over time, so balanced intake matters; take with food to minimize stomach upset.
Copper (as Gluconate)
Copper supports enzymes involved in energy production and antioxidant activity, helping maintain balance with zinc in the body.
Caution: Excess copper can be harmful, so avoid combining with other high-copper supplements unless advised; take with food if sensitive.
How they work together
Zinc supports immune cell function and antioxidant enzymes, while copper contributes to oxidative defense and energy metabolism. Including copper helps maintain mineral balance because added zinc intake may reduce copper levels.
Safety and tips

Who should be cautious: People with known mineral imbalances, kidney concerns, or those already taking zinc or copper supplements may need guidance to avoid excess intake. Those with stomach sensitivity may wish to take with food.
