What is L-OptiZinc® + Copper?

L-OptiZinc® + Copper is a dietary supplement from Now Foods that combines zinc in the patented L-OptiZinc® form — zinc monomethionine — with amino acid chelated copper. The choice of zinc form is the main differentiator of this formula: L-OptiZinc® is a raw material patented by Lonza, specifically developed to maximize the bioavailability and tissue retention of zinc compared to more common forms such as oxide, sulfate, or gluconate.

The inclusion of copper is not random: high doses of zinc compete with copper for the same intestinal absorption transporters, which can reduce copper levels over time. The addition of 0.3 mg of chelated copper maintains the balance between the two minerals — a consideration often ignored in isolated zinc supplements.

Who is it for?

L-OptiZinc® + Copper Now Foods is especially relevant for adults who:

  • Want active immune support — especially during periods of higher infection risk
  • Have acne-prone skin, slow healing, or skin irregularities
  • Experience hair loss or brittle nails with a nutritional component
  • Follow vegan or vegetarian diets — plant-based zinc sources have lower bioavailability due to phytic acid
  • Already take zinc in other supplements and want to ensure balance with copper
  • Are looking for the zinc form with the best absorption and retention profile available on the market

Instructions for Use: Take 1 capsule per day.

Zinc and copper share the same intestinal absorption transporters — meaning that high doses of zinc taken continuously can progressively reduce copper levels in the body. Copper is essential for the function of superoxide dismutase (one of the main endogenous antioxidants), for collagen synthesis, and for cardiovascular health. The inclusion of 0.3 mg of chelated copper in this formula is a careful formulation decision — making the product safer and more suitable for prolonged use than isolated zinc in 30 mg doses.
