Frequently asked
Why take Copper Gluconate with high-dose zinc?
High doses of zinc can interfere with copper absorption, potentially leading to a copper deficiency. Supplementing with copper gluconate helps maintain a healthy copper-to-zinc ratio.
How long does it take to see effects?
For markers related to cellular health and longevity, effects may become measurable within 8-12 weeks of consistent daily intake.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are uncommon at the recommended dose. Mild gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or stomach discomfort, may occur when first starting the supplement.
