Trace Elements Copper Plus (90 Tablets)
The bottle says take one tablet a day with a meal. That is the generic label default, and it is almost never what a hair tissue mineral analysis actually calls for.
A lab report prescribes a schedule written as three numbers — morning, noon and evening:
| On your report | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | One tablet, once a day |
| 1-1-0 | One in the morning, one at noon, none in the evening |
| 1-1-1 | One with each of the three meals |
| 2-1-1 | Two in the morning, one at noon, one in the evening |
| 2-2-1 | Two, two, then one |
| 1-1-2 | One, one, then two — weighted to the evening |
| 3-3-3 | Three with each meal, nine a day in total |
Those are examples rather than a complete list. The amounts come from your own oxidation rate and mineral ratios, so a formula the label treats as a once-a-day supplement may be prescribed several times a day on a chart — or only in the morning, or not at all.
So do not work out how long a bottle will last from the label. Work it out from your schedule. On 3-3-3, a 180-count bottle is twenty days, not six months.
If you have a report and are not sure how to read it, send it over — walking people through their own numbers is exactly what the text support is for.
Trace Elements builds most of its mineral formulas on Albion® TRAACS® amino acid chelates rather than the cheaper inorganic salts (oxides, carbonates, sulphates) that dominate the shelf.
The distinction is practical rather than marketing. A chelated mineral is bound to amino acids, so it is absorbed along an amino acid pathway rather than having to compete for the narrower mineral pathways. That generally means better uptake at a lower dose, and markedly less of the digestive upset people associate with minerals — magnesium oxide and ferrous sulphate being the two most notorious.
It also matters for a nutritional balancing program specifically. When a chart calls for a mineral, what is wanted is for the level to move. A form that largely passes through does not move it, and the retest simply shows the same pattern again three months later.
Copper is one of the minerals most often found high on a hair analysis rather than low, so a copper supplement is not a general-purpose choice. It is given when the chart calls for it — and it is paired here with vitamin B2, which is involved in how copper is handled.

Copper is the one I get asked about most nervously, usually by people who have read that copper is always the villain. On a chart it is more complicated than that: copper can read high while the body is not actually able to use it. Whether you need copper or need to move it is genuinely a numbers question.
I came to hair analysis in 2010, under ARNP Julie Walker in Kennewick, Washington, and worked directly with Analytical Research Labs — testing family and friends until I could read a chart properly. I listened to every cassette tape Dr. Paul Eck recorded and read every newsletter that laboratory published. When I found out a degree in Nutritional Balancing existed, I signed up with Dr. Larry Wilson in August 2011, and I have practised independently since the autumn of 2017. The most useful thing I can offer is not a longer product list — it is help reading your own chart and adjusting between tests. Mineral patterns almost always shift on a retest, and watching that happen chart to chart is where the real learning is. I hand-select the formulas and the absorbable forms that consistently help people feel and function better.
How I am available to you. If you order a hair analysis, you get text support from me while you are on the program — retracing and detox questions are best answered as they happen, not weeks later. It takes about three months to train someone to understand what is going on and adjust their own program between tests, and that is the goal. Our Facebook group is free to join whether or not you have bought anything: ask questions there and read through the tips already shared.
I also work in order of priorities, to fit your budget. Some people go all out for longevity; others take only what their hair analysis calls for, once a day. Both are worth doing. Tell me where you are and we will start there.
Matched to your chart. Trace Elements formulas are designed to be selected from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis results rather than chosen from symptoms, because the same product can suit one oxidation pattern well and another poorly. If you are unsure whether this one fits you, a hair analysis answers that from your own numbers.

Expert Guidance for Copper Plus – Trace Nutrients™ – #242 (90 tabs) Supplementation
To achieve the best results, it is recommended that Copper Plus supplements be used in conjunction with personalized advice from a qualified Health Practitioner familiar with Hair Analysis. These supplements are generally deemed safe during pregnancy according to established guidelines. However, if you are nursing, it is crucial to consult a practitioner for a follow-up HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test to ensure tailored advice.
The suggested dosage for Copper Plus by Trace Elements typically depends on individual requirements as assessed by an HTMA test. Generally, the recommended daily intake ranges from one (1) to three (3) tablets, to be taken two to three times daily with meals. For effective and safe use, it is essential to consult a proficient Health Practitioner with expertise in Hair Analysis. If an HTMA test is unavailable, please adhere to the dosing directions provided on the supplement label and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
