Copper Supplement for Horses – 3:1 Zinc Copper

Boost Your Horse’s Health with Optimal Mineral Balance

Mad Barn’s 3:1 Zinc copper supplement for horses provides essential minerals in the ideal three-to-one ratio. One scoop supplies the recommended 300 mg of zinc and 100 mg of copper for a 500 kg horse. This ensures your horse receives vital nutrients for optimal health.

Key Features

1. Bioplex® Zinc and Copper Our 3:1 Zinc Copper powder contains Bioplex® Zinc and Copper. These organic minerals, in the form of proteinates, are bound to amino acids. As a result, they are more readily absorbed and metabolized compared to inorganic minerals. Learn more about the importance of supplements.
2. Supports Coat and Hoof Health Copper and zinc are necessary for making keratin, the protein found in hair and hooves. Horses with low levels of these minerals may have a frizzy, dull, or discolored coat. The 3:1 ratio promotes a shiny, healthy coat and strong hooves. This helps prevent issues like hoof wall cracks, thrush, and white line disease. For more information on hoof health, refer to these studies on white line disease and hoof development.
3. Enhanced Antioxidant Support Copper and zinc work together as co-factors for the antioxidant enzyme copper/zinc superoxide dismutase. This enzyme is found in all body cells. Older horses and those under heavy exercise have higher antioxidant needs, which may benefit from this copper supplement.
4. Counteracts Excess Iron Horses with high iron levels in their diet often need supplemental zinc and copper to maintain balance. Excess iron can interfere with the absorption of these minerals, potentially leading to conditions like Cushing’s/PPID, insulin resistance, equine metabolic syndrome, laminitis, and liver damage. Adding copper and zinc helps counteract these effects and supports metabolic health and liver function.
5. Comprehensive Nutrition with AminoTrace+ Mad Barn’s AminoTrace+ is a complete vitamin and mineral premix with high levels of zinc and copper. Developed for horses with metabolic concerns, laminitis, and high iron intake, it ensures comprehensive nutrition. Horses on AminoTrace+ usually do not need extra zinc and copper.
