The Copper Trition says it provides a chelated form of copper, the top one doesn't. Does copper supplementation need a chelated form? Just wondered

Both supplements are chelated here.

Spyda in your case you need copper alone or copper and zinc. Copper Trition contains iron and manganese, both of which you don't need and could be detrimental.

I find Copper bioplex from Forageplus easiest because it is exactly 10% copper so it's easy to know how much you are giving. Copper sulphate is more difficult (equimins sell it but only on a phone-up basis) because it is higher in copper for the weight and not a nice easy 10%.

Okay, thanks. I'm in the processes of ordering the nutritional and mineral analyis from ForagePlus and their bespoke diet plan so guess I'll hold fire until I know exactly what I need. Not cheap though is it! £199!!!
