COPPER-PLUS Powder

Cooper with vitamin B12 for horsesCopper for horses is designed to support dietary copper levels. Cooper is a key trace mineral and plays many important roles in the body, including:

Red blood cell production and in particular the formation of the oxygen-carrying pigment haemoglobinAs a key component in antioxidant enzymes, helping to protect muscle and other cells from oxidative damageAs a key co-factor in enzymes that help maintain strength and flexibility in connective tissue such as tendons and ligamentsBone production and development, and is vital for correct skeletal development in young horsesThe production of myelin, the protective covering of nerve cellsKeratin synthesis for healthy skin, mane and tail hair and hoof productionAs a key component in enzymes responsible for the production of skin pigmentsCopper interacts closely with zinc and Vitamin B12, and both these micronutrients are provided in Copper Plus Powder, to help maintain the correct ratios in the overall diet.Key antioxidants Vitamin E and controlled levels of Selenium are also provided to support copper’s role as an important co-factor in antioxidant enzymes, helping to protect muscles and other cells from oxidative damage.Copper interacts closely with zinc and Vitamin B12, and both these micronutrients are provided in Copper Plus Powder, to help maintain the correct ratios in the overall diet. Key antioxidants Vitamin E and controlled levels of Selenium are also provided to support copper’s role as an important co-factor in antioxidant enzymes, helping to protect muscles and other cells from oxidative damage.Many pastures and forages are either low or marginal in copper, and copper supplementation may be required in specific cases where forage levels are known to be low or marginal, or where are high levels of copper antagonists such as iron or sulphur are present in the feed or forage, which may interfere with copper absorption.Copper Plus Powder will help to correct a lack of copper in the diet, with safe and controlled levels, from bio-available sources.Seek professional advice if a copper deficiency is suspected, either from a qualified nutritionist or your veterinary surgeon.

What are the benefits of Copper Plus Powder?Copper – is provided from two sources, to ensure optimum bio-availability and help correct sub-optimal intakes:50% from the chelate of glycine hydrate50% from copper sulphateZinc – is included to help maintain correct overall dietary ratios and ensure optimum bioavailability:50% from the chelate of glycine hydrate50% from zinc oxideVitamin B12 – to support blood cell productionVitamin E and Selenium – to provide additional antioxidant support
