Of all the trace elements that are recognised as important in equine nutrition, Copper has the most extensive catalogue of known functions. It is essential in cartilage and bone production, haemoglobin synthesis, proper function of the nervous system, and the maintenance of healthy skin and coat. While copper is present in feed and forage, its absorption can be hampered by interactions with other minerals present in the diet.
COPPER PRO PASTE ensures adequate levels of copper are available to the horse on a continual basis. The inclusion of micromineral Zinc guarantees a sufficient supply of this crucial element. A constituent of over 100 enzymes, each of which facilitates a different physiological process, the influence of Zinc extends from the immune system to healthy hoof growth.
COPPER PRO PASTE is also the only copper paste to include a significant amount of supplemental Iodine. Iodine is essential in the production of thyroid hormone, which governs the rate of all metabolic processes in the body, including energy production at the cellular level. In recent years there has been an increased appreciation of the importance of adequate dietary Iodine for the equine athlete.
COPPER PRO PASTE provides optimum levels of Copper, Zinc, and Iodine in one easy-to-use oral syringe, helping keep your horse in peak condition all year round.
COPPER PRO PASTE is available in a 32ml syringe.
