I got my Ionic Copper Concentrate dietary supplement in the UK as there are several brands, mine is < New Beginnings" - and I have seen plenty brands available in the States too. Mine cost around $27 [£23] approx.
I know copper contributes to the formation of collagen and also deters and/or eradicates parasites, they use copper sulphate in water treatment I believe or used to.
