Kupferbisglycinat
High quality copper for sensitive persons
The trace element copper appears in different compounds, whereby one can distinguish between organic and inorganic copper forms. In the organic copper bisglycinate compound, the trace element is bound to two amino acids "L-glycine". This "chelated" form gives the compound special properties, such as high bioavailability and excellent tolerability. Copper bisglycinate is absorbed by the body as an amino acid rather than as a mineral. As a result, copper does not have to compete with other minerals for absorption from the intestine, as is usually the case.
Copper bisglycinate also scores in terms of tolerability. With copper bisglycinate, we are fulfilling the frequently expressed wish for a citrate-free copper variant. Especially for those who are sensitive to citrates, this compound is the perfect alternative to the proven copper citrate. We offer our copper bisglycinate in the usual copper dosage of 2 mg per capsule per day.
Copper: The chameleon among trace elements
While many trace elements are attributed one main task, copper impresses with its diversity. As a component of numerous enzymes, copper is involved in very different bodily functions. It plays a role in the nervous system and energy metabolism, supports the body's immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. But our appearance is also shaped by copper. The shimmering orange trace element not only contributes to the formation of normal connective tissue, but also to the normal pigmentation of skin and hair. In everyday life, both animal and plant foods provide us with copper. In particular, seafood is generally considered to be rich in copper. However, green vegetables, grain products, legumes and chocolate also serve as good sources of copper. In certain situations, additional supplementation may be appropriate. Long-term zinc supplementation or taking certain medications can be detrimental to copper absorption.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
