HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Copper Chelated Form Formula by TumoRx

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (350 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: slippery elm and copper chelate (a bound form of copper designed for easier absorption). Slippery elm is inner bark from the slippery elm tree; it's been used traditionally for digestive and respiratory comfort.

Copper is an essential mineral your body needs for various functions, and this formula uses a chelated form to help your body take it in. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Copper deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Copper) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence supporting what these ingredients do is mixed. For copper deficiency — an actual shortage of this mineral — the data shows it's likely effective.

For copper's other claimed uses here, the evidence isn't solid: Alzheimer's disease is rated possibly ineffective, and acne, chemotherapy-related low red blood cells, and brain tumors all lack reliable evidence to rate them. Slippery elm's effectiveness for cancer, constipation, cough, diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease is also rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm Copper

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality long-term safety data are limited. Some sources caution against it in pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information.

For breastfeeding, there's too little safety data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Copper is safe in food amounts and standard supplements, but excess copper can be toxic.

Copper is needed in pregnancy, but stay within recommended amounts and avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises otherwise. Recommended amounts are considered acceptable while breastfeeding.

Rarely, topical copper contact has caused skin reactions like dermatitis.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm Copper

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Copper, Slippery Elm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 2,028 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist before starting if you take penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) — copper can reduce how much of it you absorb, and you'll need to space them at least 2 hours apart. If you're on birth control pills, mention this product because long-term use may raise your copper levels.

Because slippery elm may slow the absorption of oral medications in general, if you take other prescriptions, a timing discussion with your pharmacist is smart.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product might make sense if you have a documented copper deficiency or want to support copper intake within normal ranges. If you take penicillamine for Wilson's disease or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you're on birth control pills, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting — the interactions are real and worth planning around.

Slippery elm's effectiveness for its listed uses isn't well established, so know what you're taking this for.

Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)

Theoretically, taking copper with penicillamine might decrease the absorption of penicillamine; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
Copper chelates penicillamine, which decreases its absorption and may reduce its clinical effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, taking copper with contraceptive drugs might increase the levels and toxic effects of copper.
A meta-analysis of clinical studies suggests that chronic use of oral contraceptives increases serum copper levels by a mean of 57 mcg/dL. In most people, this resulted in levels above the normal reference range for copper.

Copper Chelated Form Formula by TumoRx: Common Questions

Does Copper Chelated Form Formula by TumoRx interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Copper Chelated Form Formula has a known interaction with 2,027 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Copper Chelated Form Formula contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this work for cancer or brain tumors?
The evidence we have doesn't rate brain tumors or cancer as proven uses for copper. The data on slippery elm for cancer isn't established either. If you're thinking about this for a serious condition, talk with your oncologist or doctor first.
Is copper safe to take every day?
Copper in standard supplement doses is safe, but excess copper can be toxic. Stay within the recommended amount and don't take high-dose copper supplements unless your doctor says to. If you're eating copper-rich foods too, keep that in mind.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Copper is needed during pregnancy and is likely safe in recommended amounts — don't skip it. For slippery elm, there isn't enough reliable safety data in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or midwife before using it. Avoid high-dose copper supplements unless advised by your healthcare provider.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
Copper at recommended amounts is considered acceptable while breastfeeding. Slippery elm has too little safety information for breastfeeding — discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What's slippery elm actually for?
Slippery elm has been used traditionally for cough, constipation, diarrhea, and digestive discomfort, but the reliable evidence to back up these uses isn't strong enough to rate them. It's generally well tolerated for short-term use, though long-term safety data are limited.
Can I take this with my other medications?
Slippery elm may slow how your body absorbs oral medications in general, and copper interacts with penicillamine and birth control pills specifically. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact prescriptions — it's worth a quick review before you start.
