Peak Supps Zinc Picolinate 15 mg with Copper 1 mg is a chelated mineral supplement in a single tablet, in a 90 tablet bottle, supporting immunity, hormonal balance and the health of skin and hair. The copper alongside the zinc is not a cosmetic addition but a correction to a known problem: extended use of zinc on its own crowds copper along a shared absorption route, which is why serious formulas are built on a defined ratio between them. Here that ratio is 15 mg of zinc to 1 mg of copper per tablet.
What Is Zinc Picolinate?
Zinc picolinate is a chelated form of zinc in which the mineral is bound to picolinic acid, a compound the body itself produces during tryptophan metabolism and uses as a natural mineral carrier. Picolinate belongs to the organic, chelated zinc forms as opposed to inorganic ones such as zinc oxide and zinc sulphate. The copper in this formula is likewise chelated, and chelation in both cases means the mineral travels bound to an organic molecule rather than as a free metal ion.
Benefits Of Zinc And Copper
- Immune support: Zinc and copper together contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
- Testosterone balance: Zinc contributes to maintaining normal blood testosterone levels.
- Skin, hair and nail health: Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
- Cellular protection from oxidation: Copper contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress through its role in superoxide dismutase.
- Iron transport: Copper contributes to normal iron transport within the body, a function zinc does not perform.
- Connective tissue and pigmentation: Copper contributes to maintaining normal connective tissue and to normal hair and skin pigmentation.
Active Ingredients
- Zinc picolinate 15 mg: A chelated zinc form supporting immunity, hormonal balance and skin and hair health.
- Chelated copper 1 mg: Offsets zinc crowding it along the absorption route, and supports iron transport, connective tissue and cellular protection.
How Zinc And Copper Work In The Body
The key to this formula lies in a protein called metallothionein inside the cells lining the intestine. Zinc stimulates production of that protein, and the protein binds copper with higher affinity than it binds zinc, trapping copper inside the intestinal cell, keeping it from crossing into the blood, and shedding it when the lining renews itself. This is the precise mechanism behind the link between extended zinc-only use and falling copper status, and the reason 1 mg of chelated copper accompanies 15 mg of zinc here. Once both minerals reach the blood, zinc acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes and as a structural element in the zinc finger proteins that read DNA, while copper enters the enzymes of cellular respiration and connective tissue formation.
What Sets This Formula Apart
The Peak Supps formula chelates both minerals rather than only one. Chelation means the mineral is bound to an organic carrier and moves through amino acid routes instead of competing at free-metal channels, which is why zinc picolinate absorbs better than zinc oxide and provokes less nausea. Beyond that, the 15 mg zinc to 1 mg copper ratio is calibrated for extended daily use without depleting copper stores, and that ratio is precisely what standalone zinc supplements lack. The delivery form is a once-daily tablet, in a 90 tablet bottle from Peak Supps, a British sports and nutrition supplement specialist.
Who Is This Product For?
- Anyone planning extended zinc use who wants to avoid falling copper status.
- Athletes and heavy trainers who lose zinc through sweat.
- Those seeking immune support through changeable seasons.
- People focused on skin, hair and nail health from within.
- Anyone who experienced nausea with non-chelated zinc forms and wants a gentler one.
How To Use
Take one tablet of zinc picolinate with copper daily, preferably with food or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking it with a meal reduces the nausea commonly associated with zinc on an empty stomach. Spacing it away from calcium and iron supplements, and from high-phytate foods such as unsoaked legumes and whole grains, is also advisable, since all of these lower how much zinc the body absorbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is copper added to a zinc supplement?
Copper is added because zinc stimulates production of the metallothionein protein in intestinal cells, and that protein binds copper with higher affinity, trapping it and preventing its passage into the blood. This is why extended zinc-only use is associated with falling copper status, and why 1 mg of chelated copper accompanies 15 mg of zinc here, addressing the issue at its source.
How does zinc picolinate differ from zinc oxide?
Zinc picolinate is a chelated form in which the mineral is bound to picolinic acid and carried through organic routes, while zinc oxide is a poorly soluble inorganic salt that depends on stomach acid to release the ion. Picolinate is therefore described as better absorbed and gentler on the stomach, the difference that matters most to anyone who experiences nausea with zinc supplements.
Should zinc be taken on an empty stomach?
Zinc is not recommended on an empty stomach, since it is among the minerals most associated with nausea in that state, which is why the instructions for this product specify taking the daily tablet with food. It also remains useful to keep it apart from calcium and iron supplements, as these compete with it at intestinal absorption sites.
