Product Overview
Copper Polysaccharide Complex Supplement
Poly Copper™ Powder provides bioavailable, polysaccharide-coated copper only to allow for quick and easy diet balancing. While there are a variety of important trace minerals needed for your horse’s diet, copper is commonly deficient due to it being low in some forages or from copper antagonists that deplete the body of copper, such as too much sulfate in drinking water or high iron intake. Copper plays an important role in coat and skin pigmentation, hoof health, metabolic processes, bone formation, soft tissue elasticity, and storage of other key minerals. To maximize bioavailability and its effect, the copper in Poly Copper Powder is partnered with polysaccharides to help protect the key minerals until they reach the digestive site where they can be most effectively absorbed and utilized.
- Ideal for diets deficient in copper or high in copper antagonists, such as sulfate in drinking water or high iron intake
- Partnered with polysaccharides to help protect the key minerals until they reach the digestive site where they can be most effectively absorbed and utilized

We started feeding this about 3 months ago and have noticed a big difference in hoof health. All the horses and our donkey like it. Very economical as well.

Great value!
Great price for an extremely important supplement in a horse's diet! I use a little flaxseed oil to get them to eat it. Or use a little water.

Five stars for now :)
Good so far, I mix it with soaked alfalfa and a little beet pulp and my horse eats it right up! Not the most palatable (some of the horses won't eat it unless topped with some alfalfa pellets) and I haven't used it long enough for any improvements with my horse, but I think I'll see positive results!

Hoof issues 100% improved
I determined my zinc:copper ratios are 8-10times higher for zinc instead of the 4:1. I added copper only to balance. This is first Summer their hooves have been essentially crack and broken free. I say this because I had added copper and zinc to their daily supplements with little difference for the past 2-3 years. I finally investigated further into my county's soil mineral content. In my case I only needed to add copper to balance it out.

Love the tiny volume that you have to give. Though, if it came with a smaller scoop so I didn't have to eyeball a 1/2, it would be better. The only thing I don't like is the smell. Smells like really strong seaweed. The horses don't seem to mind though.

Only one star because my horse refused to eat the powder, but I'd give Uckele 5 stars for customer service since they are shipping me the pelleted Poly Copper in response to my email about the taste issue for my horse.

Picky eater gobbles it up!
With Colorado soil being so high in iron, I decided to supplement with copper and zinc. I was concerned my picky eater wouldn't touch it, as he often does with supplements (and this one smells a bit funky), but I put it in his mash and he doesn't mind at all! It's such a small amount, I think I could probably hide it in dry food, too.

Awesome product
Both our geldings thrive on this. It's very cost effective because you feed very little. Their coats, mane and tail are shiny and expressing their full, gorgeous color. Love this product!

Copper/Zinc
Having moved to area where thrush is more common my farrier recommended supplementing my horses with both Zinc and Copper. Upon her recommendation I have been using it for 4 months now. We are in our rainy season and so far so good

MIRCALE supplement - I mean it !!!
Already left a glowing review for poly zinc .. same goes for poly copper.
Our (then 16 year old) OTTB became unridable due to R F hoof issues, four vets came and left, x-rays etc., still off. Then we finally did a mineral panel. Result: copper and zinc deficiency. Started both 6 months ago, took a few weeks to see any difference but today, she is 22 3/4 fully ridable (barefoot on pea gravel paddock and grass pasture, boots for riding on trails), not even slightly off at all, acting like a 6 year old crazy TB again. She had been declared a lawn ornament by 3 vets, they should see her now :-)
Bottom line: if your horse deals with thin sole, soft sole, abscesses etc., try poly zinc and poly copper, wait a few months and I am pretty sure you'll be happy!

Easy to feed, good solution
Easy to feed, good solution for high iron in the water; however must be mixed well or my mare leaves it at the bottom of the feeder.

Poly Copper
Of my two horses, the gelding will eat it in his supplement bucket. The mare hates the taste, so, 50% success!

I have been using this for years-- such a small amount is needed-- one thing I noticed EXTERNALLY on my horse is that his coat remained dark bay instead of turning orange in certain seasons!!
