Primary Function: Copper glycinate is a dietary supplement that helps activate enzymes that are important to energy metabolism. Copper may also facilitate iron absorption to help formulate hemoglobin and red blood cells. Essential trace mineral supplement. Helps promote energy metabolism. Supports numerous physiological processes. Copper activates a number of enzymes important to energy metabolism. It is the key mineral in lysyl oxidase, an enzyme that weaves together collagen and elastin. Copper assists in the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells by facilitating iron absorption. It is involved in protein metabolism, the production of RNA, and the synthesis of phospholipids used in the formation of myelin sheaths. Imbalanced copper impacts mental health by increasing anxiety-related neurotransmitters and lowering dopamine. Associated with anxiety, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and depression.
