Copper gluconate is a salt of copper and glucose-derived gluconic acid. Copper is known to aid in wound healing and is also a part of many important enzymes in the body.
Copper gluconate, along with zinc and manganese gluconates, has been tested as an effective wound healing agent, although only in a test-tube experiment so far. The manufacturer claims it also has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, although this has yet to be confirmed.
