Copper Glycinate

Copper glycinate is a chelated form of copper, meaning it is a compound in which copper ions are bound to glycine molecules. Its chemical formula is Cu(C2H5NO2)2, and its molecular weight is around 241.63 g/mol.

In pharmaceuticals, copper glycinate is used as a dietary supplement to provide copper, which is an essential mineral required for several vital physiological processes, including the formation of red blood cells, maintenance of bone and connective tissue, and proper function of the immune system.

Copper glycinate is a well-tolerated form of copper supplement that provides essential copper ions required for several physiological processes. Its unique molecular structure, consisting of a stable chelate of copper ions and glycine molecules, helps reduce the risk of side effects compared to other forms of copper supplementation.

The chemical structure of copper glycinate consists of two glycine molecules (C2H5NO2) coordinating to one copper ion (Cu2+). This coordination forms a stable complex, which is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects compared to other forms of copper supplements.

Copper glycinate is also known by various other names, including cupric glycinate, copper(II) glycinate, and copper bis-glycinate.
