Zinc + Copper 60 Capsules

Zinc + Copper — Dr. Jay Wrigley's Immune, Hormone, and Metabolic Mineral Protocol

Zinc and copper are essential trace minerals that must be maintained in proper balance — a principle that Dr. Jay Wrigley, NMD and Functional Medicine Doctor, emphasizes in his clinical practice. Zinc is one of the most widely deficient minerals in the modern population, with critical roles in immune function, testosterone synthesis, thyroid hormone metabolism, insulin signaling, gut integrity, and wound healing. Copper is its essential counterpart — necessary for iron metabolism, connective tissue synthesis, and antioxidant enzyme function.

In the LCHPMF™ framework, zinc status is assessed within the "H" (Hormonal) and "F" (Functional) pillars. Zinc deficiency is a consistent finding in patients presenting with the Androgen Excess, Thyroid Sluggish, and Gut-Driven archetypes — and supplementing zinc alone without copper can create a copper deficiency over time, which is why the balanced combination is the clinically preferred approach.

Clinical context: Dr. Wrigley recommends Zinc + Copper for patients with confirmed or suspected zinc insufficiency, those on plant-based diets (which reduce zinc bioavailability), and patients presenting with immune vulnerability, poor wound healing, taste or smell changes, or the hormonal patterns associated with zinc deficiency.
