What is zinc + copper good for?
Zinc and copper are antagonists and are therefore preferably taken in combination. Zinc and copper have a synergistic effect on each other, which means that they work very well together in certain areas. A high intake of zinc can lead to lower copper levels. The VitaminFit dietary supplement contains the highly bioavailable forms of zinc bisglycinate and copper bisglycinate chelate.
How zinc and copper work
Zinc and copper have many different functions in the body. Both minerals support the immune system and contribute to the protection of cells against oxidative stress.
Zinc: is an essential mineral that fulfils a large number of functions in the body. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the cell division process, is good for the bones, and is a well-known mineral that contributes to the condition of the skin, hair and nails, eyesight, resistance, normal memory and concentration. In addition, zinc helps build (body) protein and contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.
Copper: contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue (in blood vessels, cartilage and skin), plays a role in blood formation, normal energy-yielding metabolism, pigment formation and, among other things, normal functioning of the nervous system.

Product information
The Zinc & Copper capsule is made from zinc bisglycinate & copper bisglycinate chelate, both of which are the active forms for good absorption in the body and are 100% natural. The added natural vitamin C comes from Acerola cherry juice extract.
Zinc is the second most common trace element in the human body. The NRV/RDA* (nutrient reference value) for zinc intake for adults is 10 mg/day according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. However, the amount of zinc absorbed in the diet can vary greatly (5-50%), depending on the presence of other food components (plant ligands such as dietary fibre, phytates, lignin) that affect bioavailability.
Zinc in food
Animal products (fish, meat, oysters, dairy products) are good sources of zinc. Therefore, people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and people with limited access to zinc-rich animal products with low phytate content may be advised to take zinc supplements. Even if you consume a lot of fibre and phosphorus in your daily diet, the absorption of zinc from food can be impeded. The highest level according to EFSA is 25 mg of zinc/day for both sexes.
Since the human body does not store excess zinc, it must be consumed regularly as part of the diet. Zinc is needed as a cofactor for more than 100 different enzymes; in other words, it is necessary for their proper functioning. Zinc performs a wide range of functions in the human body, such as maintaining physiological processes, metabolism, signalling, transduction, cell growth and differentiation, so it plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell growth, protein synthesis, healing damaged tissue and supporting the immune system. Research shows that zinc can stabilise blood sugar levels and support the skin and eyes.
The vitamin C present also supports the immune system, helps protect cells from oxidative stress and maintains normal hair, nails and skin. The capsule also contains natural organic acid - in the form of lemon peel extract - which has been shown to promote copper absorption. In addition, this supplement also contains a plant extract that is very popular today, holy basil leaf extract or tulsi extract.
This plant plays a therapeutic role in Ayurvedic medicine. The health benefits of this plant are the subject of much research. Among its many traditional uses and effects, it can stimulate and revitalise the body, it is an adaptogenic plant - i.e. it helps your body adapt to stress and promotes mental balance - and it has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Some of these effects have been supported by research.
Copper in food
Shellfish, organ meats, nuts, seeds, whole grains, green vegetables and chocolate are the richest dietary sources of copper.
Copper is involved in numerous biological processes, from immune and neural functions to bone and blood health or antioxidant defence. It is found in all body tissues and plays a role in energy production, red blood cell formation and the maintenance of nerve cells and the immune system. It also helps the body absorb iron and form collagen. Most of these roles are performed by metalloprotein enzymes, to which copper is largely bound, acting both structurally and as a cofactor for catalytic activity.
Copper deficiency is rare, but certain health problems and other factors can increase the risk. These include genetic defects in copper metabolism, absorption problems (e.g. people with coeliac disease), excessive intake of zinc or vitamin C supplements.
