Copper: dosing, timing and what to expect
Taken almost exclusively to offset the copper depletion caused by long-term zinc supplementation, rather than for anything it does on its own.
Also known as copper bisglycinate
Quick reference. Everything you need to run Copper —
dosing, frequency, reconstitution math for the vial sizes people actually buy,
and what it stacks with. For anything specific to your situation,

What to expect
Most people tolerate Copper well. Here is what is worth knowing going in, so nothing catches you by surprise.
Only worth taking if you are running zinc long-term. The ratio matters more than the amount — roughly 15:1 zinc to copper. Take them at different times; together they compete for the same transporter and you get less of both.
Preparing it
Copper does not need reconstituting — it comes ready to use.
