Trace Mineral Pak Supports: Mineral Balance Intense Exercise Antioxidant Defenses Hoof Growth Skin and Coat Quality Immune Function Joints and Connective Tissue Reproductive Function Metabolic Health Overall Well-Being Mad Barn’s Trace Mineral Pak is a balanced trace mineral supplement for horses that contains 100% organic minerals. Deficiencies in key trace minerals over a long period of time, can result in poor hoof and coat condition, depressed athletic performance and decreased energy levels in your horse. Supplementing with trace minerals like Copper, Zinc, Manganese and Selenium support optimal health by protecting tissues from oxidative stress, providing the catalysts for muscle and tissue growth and boosting the metabolism. Make sure that your equine companion is getting the trace minerals they need to thrive with Trace Mineral Pak. The concentrated formula provides trace minerals in a form that are safe, highly bioavailable and backed by research. The Trace Mineral Pak provides only trace minerals and is not a complete source of all nutrients, such as vitamins, that may be lacking in forages. It should only be fed as part of a properly balanced diet formulated by a nutritionist or veterinarian. Why Go Organic? Unlike other supplements on the market, Mad Barn’s Trace Mineral Pak contains 100% organic ingredients. In nature, trace minerals are chemically bound to the amino acids. The trace minerals in Trace Mineral Pak are found in a form that nature intended – attached to amino acids or peptides using Advanced Trace Mineral Technology (ATMT). Supported by more than 21 years of research, trace minerals that utilize ATMT are better able to meet the increased nutritional needs of the modern horse to support optimal health and maximize athletic and reproductive performance. Trace Mineral Pak contains high levels of trace minerals commonly deficient in the modern equine diet in an organic format for maximum bioavailability. In addition to superior bioavailability, trace minerals with ATMT: Don’t interfere with digestive processes. Compared to inorganic trace minerals, digestive enzyme activity is higher when using organic minerals. Avoid interactions with other minerals that inhibit absorption. Supplementing with high levels of copper or zinc won’t reduce the utilization of each other. Are free of contaminants found commonly in inorganic trace minerals, like PCB’s and dioxins. Why Use Trace Mineral Pak? Zinc, copper and manganese work individually or synergistically to support growth, reproduction and maintain the structural integrity of tissues. Bioplex™ Zinc Has an integral role in the synthesis of collagen and keratin- tissue proteins that make up hair, hooves and skin. Bioplex™ Manganese Co-factor for enzymes that synthesize cartilage, assists with metabolism of carbohydrates and fat and forms the enzyme superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant. Bioplex™ Copper Integrated in enzymes that crosslink collagen and keratin. Selenium An important antioxidant needed for defense against oxidative tissue damage from reactive oxygen species, selenium can be severely deficient in some regions of North America and is needed in higher amounts for horses undergoing intense exercise or have conditions that depress antioxidant status. Sel-Plex™ is a selenium-enriched yeast that is the most bioavailable form of Selenium currently on the market, with multiple research studies backing its efficacy. Iodine Maintenance of thyroid hormones is imperative for robust metabolic health. Iodine contributes to the synthesis of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).
