From the age of 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year — gradually leading to drier and looser skin. Beauty supplements provide building blocks and cofactors from which the body can build these structures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scientific basis for \"drinking collagen to get beautiful skin\" is nuanced. The body breaks down collagen peptides into amino acids — which can be used anywhere, not specifically for the skin. Nevertheless, clinical studies (especially with 5-10 g\/day collagen peptides for 8-12 weeks) consistently show improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth. The effect seems to work by stimulating the body's own collagen production through the amino acids glycine and proline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is the only EFSA-recognized component for collagen formation for the skin. It is an indispensable cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine — without sufficient vitamin C, the body cannot make functional collagen. For those supplementing with collagen, a vitamin C supplement of 500 mg\/day is a logical step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete beauty theme, add: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zinc-zinkoxide\"\u003ezinc\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin), \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/biotine\"\u003ebiotin\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin and hair), astaxanthin (UV protection and antioxidant) and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3-vetzuren\"\u003eomega 3\u003c\/a\u003e DHA (skin fatty acids).

Het is cofactor in vele enzymen, waaronder ceruloplasmine (ijzertransport), superoxide-dismutase (antioxidant) en cytochroom c-oxidase (mitochondriale energieproductie). Een volwassen lichaam bevat circa 100-150 mg koper.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoper is een van die mineralen waar de balans-verhouding belangrijker is dan de absolute hoeveelheid. Het lichaam reguleert koper-niveau strikt via opname en uitscheiding — een gemiddeld voedingspatroon levert genoeg om de RI van 1 mg\/dag te halen. Voor de meeste mensen is gerichte koper-suppletie dus niet nodig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaar er zijn specifieke situaties waarin koper-aanvulling logisch wordt. De belangrijkste is langdurig hoog zink-gebruik. Zink en koper concurreren bij de opname in de darm — een hoge zink-inname blokkeert geleidelijk de koper-opname. Bij chronisch zink-gebruik boven 15 mg\/dag (langer dan 8 weken) kan een functioneel koper-tekort ontstaan, met paradoxale symptomen: anemie die niet reageert op ijzer-suppletie (omdat ceruloplasmine — koper-afhankelijk — onvoldoende ijzer transporteert), vermoeidheid, slechte wondgenezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePremium zink-supplementen voegen daarom vaak 1-2 mg koper toe in de juiste verhouding (zink:koper 8:1 tot 15:1). Voor wie zink en koper apart koopt: een losse koper-aanvulling van 1-2 mg per dag is voldoende bij standaard zink-suppletie.

Product Description
For daily health support, Trace Minerals Ionic Copper 3 mg is a liquid copper supplement in ionic form, developed to naturally support your body in maintaining an optimal mineral balance. Copper is an essential trace element involved in various vital bodily functions. Thanks to its liquid ionic form, copper is quickly and efficiently absorbed by the body, providing maximum support where you need it. Why choose Ionic Copper 3 mg? 3 mg bioavailable copper per serving Liquid ionic form for optimal absorption Supports multiple proven bodily functions Free from artificial additives Supports proven health functions The health claims below are approved according to European legislation and NVWA guidelines: Copper supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism Supports the normal functioning of the immune system Promotes normal pigmentation of skin and hair Plays a role in maintaining healthy connective tissue Supports iron transport in the body Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. What is copper used for in the body? Among other things, copper supports energy metabolism, the pigmentation of skin and hair, connective tissue, and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. 2. Can I combine copper with other supplements? Yes, but pay close attention to your total daily intake. Copper is often combined with zinc or other trace minerals. 3. How do I best take this supplement? Preferably diluted with water or juice, with a meal for good absorption. 4. Does the product have side effects? At normal dosage, there are no known side effects. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance. 5. Is this product suitable for vegans? Yes, it contains no animal ingredients and is suitable for a vegan diet.
Usage
Use and Dosage Take the recommended amount daily (as indicated on the label), preferably diluted in a glass of water or juice. Shake well before use. Plent Tip Add a few drops of Ionic Copper to a morning drink like a green smoothie or fresh fruit juice – this way, you take the supplement unnoticed, without any taste interference. Storage advice Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. Keep out of reach of young children. Legal disclaimer Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Always consult a doctor or expert if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
How many doses are in one bottle of Trace Minerals Ionic Copper?
One 59 ml bottle contains approximately 48 doses of ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml).
How long does one bottle last with daily use?
Approximately 48 days with 1 dose per day, according to the recommended dosage on the label.
When is a copper supplement useful?
Copper deficiency is rare in Western diets, as copper is present in liver, shellfish, nuts, seeds, and cocoa. Supplementation is generally only indicated for proven deficiency (via blood test or hair analysis), for prolonged high zinc intake that suppresses copper status, or for specific malabsorption disorders — always under the guidance of a physician or orthomolecular therapist.
What is copper sulfate and is it safe?
Copper sulfate (CuSO₄) is the chemical compound of copper with sulfuric acid and is a globally used form of copper in nutritional supplements. When used within the recommended daily dosage (≤ 5 mg/day in the EU) and without an underlying metabolic disorder (such as Wilson's disease), copper sulfate as an additive is safe.
How does this 3 mg dose compare to the EU-RI?
The EU Reference Intake for copper is 1 mg per day. Per dose, this product provides 3 mg (300% RI). The EU safety upper limit (UL) for copper supplements is 5 mg per day — this dosage remains below that but is intended for temporary supplementation, not for long-term daily use without advice.
Does this product contain allergens?
No — no allergens are listed on the label. Free from gluten, soy, lactose, egg, and nuts.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes — Trace Minerals Ionic Copper contains only minerals (copper sulfate + ConcenTrace®) plus purified water and citric acid. No animal ingredients.
Can I combine this with zinc or multi-supplements?
Combine with caution. Copper and zinc compete in the transport system, so a high copper intake can suppress zinc status (and vice versa). When using Ionic Copper and a zinc supplement: adjust the ratio (common 10:1 zinc:copper) and spread the intake throughout the day. If taking medication: consult a doctor or pharmacist beforehand.
Is this product suitable for long-term daily use?
No, not without guidance. The 3 mg dose is intended for temporary supplementation in cases of proven deficiency. For long-term maintenance, a lower copper dose within a multi (0.5-1 mg/day) is usually more appropriate. Periodic evaluation of copper status is recommended for longer use.
Disclaimer
A nutritional supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Keep out of reach of young children.
