Liquid Copper Betaine CuBet® is a liquid copper di-betaine complex. Dry copper-amino acid complexes have been used with success in livestock and companion animal nutrition for years. Our patented betaine-complexed trace minerals are available only from:
What Is Copper Betaine? Copper Betaine Complex is an organic compound that contains the trace mineral copper chemically bonded to the amino acid betaine. Copper and Betaine – What Do They Do? Copper is a trace mineral required by animals. The animal requires supplemental copper since typical feedstuffs are copper-deficient. Copper levels need to be adequately maintained in the animal’s body. There is very little storage in the body of copper; thus the animal diet must contain enough absorbable copper to meet daily requirements. Betaine or try-methyl glycine is a component of many metabolic pathways. Chemically, it is similar to choline, one of the B vitamins, and contains methyl groups. Betaine has been used with success to replace methionine, an essential amino acid. What Does Copper Betaine Complex Do? Chemically bonding copper and betaine in a complex results in improved absorption of these nutrients in the animal’s body. Betaine, with its readily available methyl groups, can be used to form other amino acids. In addition, betaine can partially replace methionine, an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized in enough quantity to meet animal requirements. Why Feed CuBet® Liquid Copper Betaine?
