Triquetra Health Ionic Zinc Copper
Brand: Triquetra Health · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Triquetra Health Ionic Zinc Copper is a combination supplement. However, based on the data provided, we cannot verify its specific formulation or dosage. For zinc and copper supplementation individually, the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements provides clear guidance. Zinc is essential for immune function, and copper is needed to prevent a deficiency that can occur with high zinc intake [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the specific product's effectiveness or quality.
How it works
You are taking a product that combines two minerals that work together in the body. Zinc supports over 100 enzymes and is critical for immune cell development [NIH ODS]. Copper helps maintain nerve cells and the immune system, and it is important because taking zinc without copper can lead to a copper deficiency over time [NIH ODS]. The "ionic" form is intended to be more absorbable, but data not available to confirm this advantage for this specific product.
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to Triquetra Health Ionic Zinc Copper from the provided FDA data. For zinc supplements generally, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is 40 mg per day for adults from food and supplements. Taking high doses of zinc (over 40 mg daily) can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and headaches [NIH ODS]. Copper toxicity is rare but can cause liver damage at very high doses. Data not available on specific side effect report counts for this product.
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this product because we lack specific data on its exact zinc and copper dosages. For general health, men need 11 mg of zinc daily and women 8 mg, with copper needs at 900 mcg per day for adults [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed 40 mg of total zinc per day from all sources. If you are considering this supplement, we recommend you first check the label for the exact amount of each mineral and consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian to ensure it is appropriate for your needs and does not cause an imbalance [NIH ODS].
