This is the BEST way to look at what your Copper is really doing.

Is it getting into the cells, or building up in other places? Let’s see!

Non-Ceruloplasmin Copper Calculator

Calculate NCC in Seconds

Enter zinc, copper, and ceruloplasmin exactly as they appear on a lab report.

The calculator converts units, calculates the copper:zinc ratio, and highlights the percent

of non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper.

Lab Inputs

Use the unit dropdowns to match the lab report. The app normalizes everything to µg/dL before calculating.

Formula used:

Copper:Zinc Ratio = Total Copper ÷ Zinc

Copper Bound to Ceruloplasmin = Ceruloplasmin × 0.003

NCC = Total Copper − Copper Bound to Ceruloplasmin

NCC % = NCC ÷ Total Copper × 100
