Production Details
Copper source selection. The first step involves obtaining a suitable source of copper.
Neutralization. The copper source is dissolved in water and neutralized with a food-grade base to form copper hydroxide.
Gluconic acid addition. Gluconic acid was added to the copper hydroxide solution. The reaction between gluconic acid and copper hydroxide forms copper gluconate.
Filtration and washing. The resulting copper gluconate precipitate is filtered and washed to remove impurities and unreacted materials.
Drying. The washed copper gluconate is then dried to remove excess moisture and obtain the desired powder form.
Quality control and packaging. The dried copper gluconate powder undergoes quality control checks to ensure purity and potency.
