Apexx Log - Copper (Copper Citrate)

Category: Essential trace mineral 
Form Used in Apexx01: Copper Citrate 
Dose per Serving: 2 mg 
Verification: Independent EU laboratory analysis 

What Copper Is 

Copper is a trace mineral involved in energy metabolism, iron transport, antioxidant enzyme function, and pigmentation processes. It underpins several systems that maintain physiological stability. 

Why Copper Is Included in Apexx01 

Copper contributes to EFSA-authorised functions: 

  • normal energy-yielding metabolism 

  • normal functioning of the nervous system 

  • normal iron transport 

  • maintenance of normal connective tissues 

  • normal functioning of the immune system 

  • protection of cells from oxidative stress 

Copper supports metabolic efficiency and oxidative stability. 

Why This Form: Copper Citrate 

Copper citrate is used because: 

  • it has high and predictable bioavailability 

  • it integrates well with multi-nutrient systems 

  • identity and purity are easily verifiable 

  • it avoids excessive interaction with other minerals 

It provides controlled copper delivery without instability. 

Why This Dose: 2 mg 

This level: 

  • aligns with EU nutrient reference values 

  • supports iron transport (critical alongside iron) 

  • complements zinc, avoiding imbalance 

  • remains safe for long-term intake 

Copper is effective in small amounts, precision matters. 

How Copper Works Inside the Full Formula 

Copper interacts with: 

  • Iron → supports oxidation state and transport 

  • Zinc → mineral balance 

  • Vitamin C → antioxidant pathways 

  • Amino acids → connective tissue 

Copper strengthens the metabolic and antioxidant layers of the protocol. 

Verification & Testing 

Each lot undergoes testing for: 

  • identity 

  • purity 

  • heavy metals 

  • microbiology 

All documented in the CoA. 

Compliant Summary 

  • Form: Copper Citrate 

  • Dose: 2 mg 

  • EFSA-authorised functions across metabolism, immunity, and oxidative balance 

  • Verified independently
