• Chelates

• Sequestered

CHELATED MINERALS

• Chelating reduces the chance of trace minerals being made indigestible, but they can still harm vitamins. Chelates show inconsistent levels of absorption and subsequent performance.

SEQUESTERING MINERALS

• Time released and allows maximum absorption to benefit the animal. Will not harm vitamins in the food.
