General Description

Copper picolinate is a chemical compound that consists of copper and picolinic acid. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to ensure adequate copper intake in the body. Copper is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in various physiological processes, including energy production, connective tissue formation, and iron metabolism. The picolinic acid in the compound helps to facilitate the absorption of copper in the body, making it more bioavailable for use. Copper picolinate is often used to support overall health, including the maintenance of bone density, immune function, and antioxidant activity. However, it is important to use copper supplements only under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as excessive intake can lead to toxicity and adverse effects.
