Copper Amino Acid Chelate

Copper amino acid chelate is an organic copper compound in which copper(II) ions are bound to amino acid ligands through coordinate bonds, supplied by Nustras as a powder for use as a copper source in nutritional and feed products. Copper is an essential trace element; chelating it with amino acids gives a stable, free-flowing form.

It is formulated into mineral and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, into fortified foods, nutritional premixes and medical-nutrition products, and into animal-feed premixes and pet-food formulations. It is often paired with other amino acid chelates in trace-mineral blends.

The material is a fine powder with the blue-green colour characteristic of copper(II) compounds. Elemental copper content is standardised to specification and determined by ICP or atomic-absorption spectrometry; chelation is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies copper amino acid chelate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Copper amino acid chelate is a permitted mineral source in major supplement and feed markets; buyers confirm the elemental-copper contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
