Description
Copper Citrate Product Overview
Copper(II) citrate is a light blue-green fine powder, usually supplied as the hemipentahydrate (CAS 10402-15-0 also appears in specifications). It contains about 34–36% copper and is only slightly soluble in water, whereas it dissolves in dilute acids and ammonia.
In addition, producers of nutritional products use it as an organic copper source in tablets and capsules, within the limits set by regulations in each market. Similarly, feed producers use it as a trace mineral, especially in pig diets, and fertilizer producers use it in micronutrient formulations. In addition, it finds use in some cosmetic and oral care products and as a copper source in lubricant additives.
Compared with inorganic Copper Sulfate, it has a milder taste and fits better in nutritional products. Other mineral citrates and copper sources in our range also include Copper gluconate, Zinc citrate and Copper Chelates (Mixture).
