Description

Copper(II) Gluconate Monohydrate is a high-purity, bioavailable copper salt essential for applications requiring a soluble and well-tolerated source of copper ions. This compound is valued for its stability and compatibility in sensitive formulations, making it a critical raw material for nutritional and pharmaceutical products. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the dietary supplement, food fortification, and personal care industries for its efficacy and safety profile.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a bioavailable source of copper in multivitamin/mineral tablets, capsules, and liquid formulations.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed as a nutritional additive in functional foods, infant formula, and health drinks to prevent copper deficiency.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Serves as an active ingredient or excipient in certain therapeutic formulations and topical creams.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare products like creams and lotions for its potential antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.
• Animal Feed & Nutrition: Acts as a trace mineral supplement in premixes for livestock, poultry, and pet food to support metabolic functions.
• Technical & Industrial Uses: Utilized in electroplating solutions, as a catalyst in specific chemical reactions, and in analytical chemistry.
