Copper
Mineral balance · Energy metabolism · Antioxidant enzymes
1 mg elemental
Part of RECOVERY / PM, taken at night.
Form, dose and role.
- What it is
- Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in iron metabolism and normal connective-tissue function.
- Why DEXO chose it
- Copper is included alongside zinc for thoughtful long-term mineral balance, supporting normal connective tissue, energy metabolism and antioxidant function.
- Why this form
- Chelated copper (elemental amount disclosed). Chelated copper with the elemental amount disclosed.
- Why this dose
- 1 mg elemental is a conservative amount appropriate next to 15 mg of zinc.
- Its role in the system
- Copper supports mineral balance and normal copper-dependent physiology within RECOVERY, particularly alongside zinc. A randomized trial at 2 mg/day increased the activity of two copper-dependent enzymes; DEXO uses 1 mg.
