The proteinate form offers superior bioavailability compared to inorganic copper sources, making it particularly well suited to precision forage balancing programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper is an essential trace mineral that plays a wide-ranging nutritional role in the horse's body. It is commonly low in UK forage, making targeted supplementation particularly valuable for horses on grass, hay, or haylage-based diets. Copper absorption is complex, as it interacts with several other trace elements, which can affect its availability in the equine diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Ingredient\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBioplex Copper (Copper Proteinate) — 12% elemental copper\u003c\/strong\u003e — A highly bioavailable chelated copper source included to contribute to normal hoof health and integrity, normal bone, joint, tendon, ligament, and cartilage health, normal coat pigmentation (including melanin production), normal coat, mane, and tail condition and colour, normal iron metabolism, and normal haemoglobin levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNutritional Support For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on forage-based diets with potential copper deficiencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses requiring targeted copper nutritional support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with poor coat pigmentation or dull, bleached coats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses requiring additional hoof, joint, or connective tissue nutritional support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on precision forage balancing programmes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll horses and ponies as part of a balanced feeding programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGeneral Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to normal hoof health and hoof wall integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to normal bone, joint, tendon, ligament, and cartilage health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to normal coat pigmentation and melanin production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain normal coat, mane, and tail colour and condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributes to normal iron metabolism and normal haemoglobin levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps address copper deficiencies commonly found in UK forage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly absorbable chelated proteinate form for superior bioavailability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for precision forage balancing programmes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Progressive Earth 2024","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49942785982797,"sku":"C1","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/5354\/1709\/files\/BioplexCopper1kg.webp?v=1754054831","url":"https:\/\/www.progressive-earth.com\/products\/bioplex-copper-copper-proteinate-12-elemental-copper-equine-mineral-forage-balancing","provider":"Progressive Earth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
