Why copper matters
Copper is small in quantity. Essential in function.
Copper is an essential trace mineral. Your body only needs it in small amounts, but copper-dependent enzymes participate in fundamental biological processes throughout the body.
Six important functions of dietary copper
Normal Iron Metabolism
Copper is required for normal iron metabolism. Copper-containing proteins such as ceruloplasmin help the body process and transport iron so it can be used appropriately.
Connective Tissue
Copper-dependent enzymes participate in the formation and maintenance of connective tissues that help give structure to the body.
Nervous System Function
Copper contributes to normal nervous-system processes and the activity of enzymes involved in neurotransmitter biology.
Immune Function
Adequate copper nutrition helps support normal immune-system function.
Antioxidant Defense
Copper is part of enzymes, including copper-containing superoxide dismutases, that participate in the body’s normal defense against oxidative damage.
What makes Bio-Cu1® different?
Two products. Two very different purposes.
Bio-Cu1® brings copper education and copper-focused products together without pretending that every copper product does the same thing.

MitoActivator EX
MitoActivator EX is an oral MitoSynergy dietary supplement containing BioCopper1®.
According to its Supplement Facts label, each capsule provides:
- 0.5 mg copper
- 1.9 mg niacin
Unlike the topical balm, MitoActivator EX is intended to contribute copper to the diet as an oral dietary supplement.
Use dietary supplements according to their label and discuss supplementation with a qualified healthcare professional when appropriate.
Explore MitoActivator EXWhy Copper1?
The copper form matters—but the science comes first.
“Copper1” refers to copper in the +1 oxidation state, Cu⁺, also called copper(I).
Copper chemistry is complex. Within biology, copper can participate in oxidation-reduction chemistry involving different oxidation states, and copper-containing enzymes use that chemistry to perform important functions.
Bio-Cu1® focuses on Copper1 because we believe consumers should understand that “copper” is not one simple material or one single formulation.
Our approach
Know the form. Understand what kind of copper a product contains.
Know the route. A topical balm and an oral dietary supplement are not interchangeable.
Know the amount. We clearly disclose Copper1 loading in Copper1 MAX Z™ and the labeled dietary copper amount in MitoActivator EX.
Know the formulation. Copper1 MAX Z™ uses an oil-rich, water-free topical system designed around its Copper1 ingredient.
Know the limits of the evidence. Established nutritional science about copper should not be turned into unsupported claims that a particular Bio-Cu1® product prevents, treats, or cures disease.
Education before exaggeration.
Copper is an essential nutrient. That established fact is different from claiming that one particular copper product produces a medical outcome.
Bio-Cu1® is committed to keeping those two conversations separate.
