Copper-Plus
Copper Plus helps to compensate for dietary copper deficiency, with safe and controlled levels, from bioavailable sources.
A 20 g serving provides 100 mg of bioavailable copper from chelated and inorganic sources.
It also contains vitamin B12 to support the formation of red blood cells.
Contains zinc to maintain the proper ratio of copper to zinc in the overall diet.
It also provides key antioxidants vitamin E and selenium.
It is safe to add to most typical fortified diets.

Product description
Copper Plus is a key trace mineral and has many important roles in the body, including:
Production of red blood cells, especially the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen
As a key component of antioxidant enzymes, it helps maintain muscle health and reduces oxidative stress
As a key cofactor in enzymes that help maintain the strength and flexibility of connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments
The development and building of bones and is crucial for the proper development of the skeleton in young horses
Production of myelin, the protective sheath of nerve cells
Keratin synthesis for healthy skin, mane, tail and hoof formation
As a key component of enzymes responsible for the production of skin pigments
Copper works closely with zinc and vitamin B12, and both of these micronutrients are found in Copper Plus powder to maintain the proper ratio in the overall diet. Key antioxidants vitamin E and controlled levels of selenium are also added to support copper's role as an important cofactor in antioxidant enzymes, helping to protect muscles and other cells from oxidative damage.
Many pastures and forages in the UK have low or borderline levels of copper, so copper supplementation may be necessary in cases where forage levels are known to be low or where high levels of copper antagonists such as iron or sulphur, which can interfere with copper absorption, are present.
Copper Plus powder helps to replenish dietary copper deficiency, with safe and controlled levels from bioavailable sources.
If you suspect a copper deficiency, seek professional advice from a qualified nutritionist or veterinarian.
