Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 6.0/10

Copper is essential for collagen synthesis, iron metabolism, and antioxidant systems, but supplementation is only warranted when deficient.

Value for money 9.0/10

€0.10/day is extremely affordable for clearly dosed 2 mg tablets.

Product quality 7.0/10

NOW Foods manufactures under GMP; tablets contain minimal excipients and are easy to split.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Product Description

NOW delivers copper as copper gluconate, a well-tolerated salt form. Each tablet provides 2 mg, making it simple to add alongside high zinc doses.

What We Like

Precise 2 mg dose rather than oversized 5–10 mg tablets
Non-GMO and GMP-manufactured
Tablets easy to split for a 1 mg dose
Very affordable price

What We’re Missing

Contains cellulose and stearates — may not appeal to purists
Not a chelated form, though gluconate absorbs well
No zinc combination product — requires two separate supplements

Usage Recommendation

1 tablet every 1–2 days with a meal. If taking ≥25 mg zinc daily, take 1 tablet daily. Do not exceed 2 mg without blood work guidance.
