Albion Copper 2 mg 300 Tablets

In the face of constant hustle and bustle and daily challenges, we increasingly recognise how important it is to provide our bodies with energy. In response to these needs, Albion Copper 2 mg 300 Tablets from SWANSON have been developed, containing copper, an essential trace element that plays a key role in many enzymatic processes in the human body. Although copper can be obtained from a well-balanced diet, supplementation is becoming increasingly popular, especially among people who are experiencing copper deficiency or are supplementing with zinc, which acts as a copper antagonist, which can lead to copper deficiency.

This supplement contains copper in the form of Albion® bisglycinate chelate. The chelation process involves chemically combining minerals with amino acids, which facilitates their transport through the intestinal wall, enabling better utilisation in the body. Glycine, which is used in this process, has been found to be well absorbed by the gut, and Albion's glycinate chelates have small enough molecules that they can easily pass directly into cells.

Above all, copper is crucial in the energy production process, taking part in many enzymatic reactions that convert nutrients into energy. It also supports the enzymes responsible for electron transport in cellular respiration. Copper also plays an important role in the integration of collagen and elastin in tissues - its adequate levels have a positive impact on the health of hair, skin and nails. By forming cross-links in collagen structures, copper contributes to their strength. In addition, it is involved in the synthesis of erythrocytes, assisting in the transport and absorption of iron, and supports the transport of oxygen into cells. In combination with other elements, copper is a component of the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radical damage.
