Proper mineral nutrition is vital for maximum performance, growth, reproduction and general health in all types of horses. Recent history has demonstrated the need to supply proper levels of trace minerals to horses, such as magnesium, zinc, copper and selenium.

Bioplex Minerals are different.
For many years, supplements have provided trace minerals, such as zinc and copper, in an inorganic form. These sources have served the horse well and their use should continue. However, during times of stress due to work, a period of growth and development or trauma, Bioplex minerals have proved to be more effective at maintaining the horse's well being, performance level and overall health.

What are Bioplex Minerals?
Bioplexes are minerals bound to small proteins. When trace minerals are bound in this way they take on the biochemical characteristics of the particular protein to which they are bound. Since the horse during digestion readily absorbs these proteins, this characteristic makes bioplex minerals more available to the horse than the traditional inorganic forms of minerals. In addition to this increased availability, certain biochemical systems within the horse have above average requirements for certain amino acids - the building blocks of protein. We take advantage of this feature by binding minerals to specific proteins, which enables us to target specific minerals to particular systems or tissues within the horses body, to help with stress reduction, the immune system, skeletal tissue and the reproductive system.
