Hi Helene,
From comparing the two, I would say that it will be okay. Actually, your loose mineral contains more selenium and zinc than the Vigortone mineral mix. Some of the other minerals are a bit higher as well. I noticed that the Magnesium ingredients are way off though - yours says 8% minimum while Vigortone has only .2% - a typo possibly??
Overall I'd say that it looks like a pretty good mix. Copper is important but there have been studies on the relationship between copper and hair color (at least for humans). Persons with darker hair color require more copper than persons with lighter hair color. I feel pretty strongly that this probably applies to alot of animals as well. As more and more research is done, I think they are going to find that there are alot of other relationships between nutrition and physiology based upon skin, coloration, height, weight, breed, etc.
Best regards,
