Balancing minerals for overall health
- supports optimal immune function
- helps curb inflammation
- helps fight oxidative stress
Our body requires a variety of minerals to function properly. The minerals can be used by enzymes, the active proteins of the body, to carry out biochemical reactions. They play important roles in ensuring we stay healthy. Zinc and copper are two minerals which are key for great health.
Zinc - the body's support
Zinc is very versatile, helping over 300 enzymes do their job properly. Some of its main functions have to do with immunity, nerve function and metabolic processes. Here are some of the key benefits of zinc:
- Immune support - our immune system uses zinc to send signals and fight sickness. It also helps to decrease oxidative stress. Taking zinc when you're sick can boost your immunity and help you recover faster.
- Helping heal wounds - zinc helps our body make collagen, which is a key building block of our skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties and collagen-boosting action can help heal wounds and cuts.
- Decreasing inflammation - zinc has anti-inflammatory action, which helps to protect our body from issues caused by long-term inflammation and oxidative stress.
- Decreasing acne - those that suffer from acne can benefit from taking zinc. Zinc is antibacterial, helping to decrease the growth of the bacteria that cause acne. It decreases inflammation, which is common with acne.
Copper - the lesser-known aid
Copper is a mineral that supports the process of making new blood cells. Alongside that, it keeps our bone and cartilage strong and healthy, helps absorb iron and can regulate blood pressure. As regular zinc intake can decrease our copper levels, taking the two together can help with increasing their absorption and ensures that you get enough of each mineral.
Maxler Zinc Picolinate + Copper is a supplement that provides plenty of the two key minerals in bioavailable forms. It is a vegan, gluten-free supplement that can fit any routine, helping you stay healthy no matter what you do.
Balanced and powerful combination
Zinc is a key player in essential functions throughout your body. The thing is that supplementation of Zinc may reduce the amount of Copper your body absorbs and may cause Copper deficiency. For that reason, Zinc Picolinate + Copper is a great supplement containing effective doses of both essential minerals!

Can I get these nutrients from foods?
Yes! Zinc can be found in legumes like lentils, nuts like almonds, shellfish like crab, and eggs. People on a plant-based diet should make sure to include plenty of zinc sources, as they are more likely to get less zinc from their food. Copper can be found in vegetables like potatoes, beans, and seeds like sunflower seeds. Animal sources of copper include liver and shellfish, like lobster. Maxler Zinc Picolinate + Copper can be a convenient way to meet your daily requirements of zinc and take in plenty of copper to ensure optimal health.
Why should I choose chelated minerals?
Minerals on their own are hard for the body to uptake and use. That’s why minerals often must take on a different form to be absorbed. An easy solution to this issue is chelation – chelation is a process where minerals like zinc or copper are attached to other molecules. This helps increase its bioavailability and makes it easier for the body to absorb. For example, this formula contains zinc picolinate, which is zinc attached to picolinic acid. This makes zinc more readily absorbed.
Can this supplement benefit athletes?
Yes! Athletes, especially endurance athletes tend to have specialized diet to optimize performance. It is vital to pay attention to micronutrients of these diets. Zinc can increase performance through decreasing tiredness, increasing endurance. It also supports bone strength. Copper is also beneficial for endurance, and it helps keep your muscles oxygenated. It can also improve reaction and speed up recovery from injuries.
What is TRAACS copper?
The copper in this supplement is a patented copper bisglycinate made using TRAACS technology. TRAACS is a patented technology, with the name standing for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. The copper is paired with glycine, an amino acid, to increase the amount of the mineral we absorb and its bioavailability. The final product also does not cause gut discomfort.
