CHELATED COPPER SYRUP & CHELATED COPPER GEL are quality products which have been formulated to provide horses with an easily absorbed form of copper. TRM's CHELATED COPPER products are the result of the bringing together of the trace mineral copper and amino acids. This process greatly enhances the absorption of the copper across the gut wall into the horses body. Inorganic copper supplements (e.g. sulphates) cannot be absorbed as easily and part of the base element is lost via excretion.
