Description

Copper Histidine is a coordination complex where copper ions are chelated by the amino acid L-histidine, offering superior bioavailability and stability. This compound is essential for applications requiring a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated source of copper, crucial for numerous enzymatic and physiological processes. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced research sectors for its critical role in metabolic function and product formulation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized drugs and therapeutic agents targeting copper metabolism disorders.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key active ingredient in high-quality mineral supplements designed for optimal absorption and bioavailability.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reagent in enzymology, metalloprotein studies, and cellular metabolism research.
• Cell Culture Media: Provides an essential trace metal component in specialized serum-free and defined media formulations.
• Veterinary Nutrition: Incorporated into premixes and feed additives to address copper deficiencies in livestock and companion animals.
• Cosmeceuticals: Utilized in advanced skincare formulations for its potential role in antioxidant defense and skin repair enzymes.
