Supplemental trace minerals can be delivered in many forms – inorganic oxides, inorganic sulfates, organic complexes, and organic chelates are the most commonly used. Organic escorts protect trace minerals through digestion. Simple complexed trace minerals are less stable since they are bonded by only one attachment point. Chelates, by contrast, such as Optimin Organic Trace Minerals have greater stability due to at least two attachment points to their organic escort, significantly increasing the probability that the trace mineral will remain protected.
They remain available to the pet until needed, greatly increasing the likelihood that chelates will be absorbed by the pet. These minerals are nutritious, high-quality and safe.
