Copper is an essential mineral that we should get enough of daily. Forms such as copper gluconate and copper citrate are less well absorbed. In contrast, the form Thorne and Solgar both use, copper bisglycinate from Albion, is highly absorbable.

Many times the amount of Copper in multivitamins is sufficient and no additional copper needs to be used in addition to it.
