The Critical Role of Trace Minerals
Trace minerals play a critical role in vital functions, including the activity of enzyme systems, which contribute to overall performance, health, and well-being of animals. Trace minerals are required for digestion and supporting the immune, respiratory and circulation systems.
Mineral Absorption
It is believed that the primary site of mineral absorption is the small intestine, not leaving out the possibility of absorption by other tissues1,2. Mineral solubility is the first step in the absorption of a mineral. In this process minerals are reduced into simple molecules. Most salts will form their ionic specie as they dissolve into aqueous solutions. The rate at which a mineral goes into solution will impact the rate of dissociation. Once the molecule dissociates, it will be in its ionic charge.
Metal propionates become soluble in solution and dissociate under controlled pH conditions. This facilitates metals in their ionic state to be presented to the binding sites of the methallothionine binding protein and become absorbed independently from their organic moiety.
