Buy Copper – Supplements with the Essential Trace Element
Copper is an essential trace element and is therefore one of the inorganic minerals that the body takes in through the diet. Chemically, it carries the symbol Cu and belongs to the transition metals. In this category, you'll find copper supplements from Scheunengut – mostly as part of thoughtfully designed complexes, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
In food supplements, copper is used as a mineral compound, for example as copper gluconate, copper citrate or copper sulphate. These salts are obtained from the metal and processed into capsules, tablets or powders in a defined purity.
Standardisation & Format
What matters is the declared content of elemental copper per serving, usually stated in milligrams or micrograms. You'll find copper as a capsule, tablet or powder – often combined with manganese or other trace elements in multi-formulas.
What to Look for When Buying
- Transparently declared content of elemental copper per serving
- Bioavailable compound, for example as gluconate or citrate
- Vegan, free from unnecessary additives
