Copper Oxide Cuo

Information:
Copper oxide cuo is an amphotereous, thus it may be dissolved in acids and alkaline solutions. In alkaline solution, it reacts to from other copper salts:
2 MetalOH + CuO + H2O → Metal2[Cu(OH)4]
In acid solutions, it also reacts until other copper salts:
CuO + 2 HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + H2O
CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl2 + H2O

Application:
Copper oxide cuo continues to be the principal source of Cu used in vitamin-mineral supplements for humans. Because these supplements are provided as tablets, Copper oxide cuo  with its high concentration of Cu, occupies less space in the tablet than would CuSO4 · 5H2O (25% Cu), yet it seems gratuitous that this form of Cu is still being used when the animal studies have shown so conclusively that the Cu in CuO is very poorly utilized. In a recent survey of pharmacies, supermarkets and supplement stores, I found only a few (among many) vitamin-mineral products that contained Cu in a form other than CuO. Interestingly, a similar survey of mineral-fortified food products revealed that almost all that contained added Cu used CuSO4 · 5H2O as the source of Cu.
