Copper Lysine Complex - Feed Ingredient
Copper lysine complex is a chelated form of copper in which copper is bound to the amino acid lysine. This organic form of copper is designed to enhance bioavailability and absorption compared to inorganic sources such as copper sulfate or copper oxide. The lysine-bound structure helps protect copper from interactions that may reduce its availability in the digestive tract.
In equine nutrition, copper lysine complex is included in feed and supplements to support enzyme function, connective tissue development, and coat and hoof health. Copper plays a critical role in collagen formation, red blood cell production, and melanin synthesis. Chelated forms like copper lysine complex are often preferred in equine diets to ensure efficient absorption and utilization of this essential trace mineral.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Copper Lysine Complex as an ingredient.
