Tasty and easy to dose
The group of macrominerals includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium, potassium and silicon.
Both calcium and phosphorus are needed to build the skeleton. In addition to the amount of calcium and phosphorus, the ratio between them is the so-called Ca / P ratio; very important to keep track of. This should be between 1.2-1.8 in the total feed state.
Magnesium is found mainly in muscles and in the skeleton and is needed for many chemical reactions as well as for blood vessels and nervous systems. Silicon is considered beneficial for hooves and hair bands as well as for developing strong joints.
The group of microminerals includes iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium. About 60% of the iron in the body is found in hemoglobin, the molecule in the red blood cells that transports oxygen out to the cells. Iodine is needed, among other things, for the formation of hormones in the thyroid gland. Copper is included in many enzymes that are involved in various syntheses in the body. Copper is needed for the formation of elastic connective tissue, it is necessary for the formation of hemoglobin and for the transport of oxygen in the body. Copper also participates in the production of the pigment melanin and stabilizes collagen in the skin, bones and tendons. The uptake of copper in the intestine is affected by the levels of other microminerals such as zinc, iron and molybdenum.
Manganese helps with cartilage formation in the joints and is an important part of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Zinc is just like copper in a variety of enzymes. These enzymes are needed in, for example, carbohydrate and protein metabolism in the body. Zinc is also needed for creatine formation in skin, fur and hooves.
Selenium is part of the enzyme that neutralizes free radicals (substances that are formed during the body's consumption of oxygen). The free radicals have a destructive effect on the body's tissues and cause its aging. Selenium helps to slow down this process. It also plays an important role in the immune system and is required for the white blood cells to be able to fight bacteria and other microorganisms effectively. Selenium interacts with vitamin E and they both complement and strengthen each other's effect. They can to some extent also replace each other.
BioMineral Total contains a well-balanced combination of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and silicon together with the trace elements iron, copper, iodine, zinc, manganese and selenium with high bioavailability to ensure the daily intake of minerals.
