Why do Norvite Equine Nutrition use Chelated Minerals?
Chelated minerals are the gold standard for equine supplements as are more easily absorbed, they are bound in proteins to improve absorption into the digestive tract.
Chelated minerals are very expensive to produce, so many companies don’t use them in their supplements. As we manufacture our minerals entirely in our bespoke plant in Aberdeenshire, we can control the quality of raw ingredients and ensure that only the best are used.
Studies have shown that horses in work have an increased requirement for some minerals, and a diet containing chelated minerals will benefit equine athletes.
The use of chelated minerals in equine diets results in reduced stress, disease and injury in performance horses, reduced bone abnormalities in growing horses and improved hoof and hair condition.
