Bioplex is a line of chelated organic trace minerals (Co, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) in the highly stable proteinate form, which closely matches the form found in nature.
Bioplex is better able to meet the higher nutrient needs of livestock for growth, reproductive efficiency and overall health. Bioplex minerals are unique in that they are protected by amino acids and peptides, replicating the forms found in nature. This level of protection makes them more easily absorbed and utilised.
Benefits of Bioplex®:
- Offers higher bioavailability than inorganic minerals
- Reduces concerns about negative mineral interactions
- Supports mineral retention and tissue reserves
- Reinforces mineral status, which leads to optimal overall health, immune status and reproductive function in the animal
- Readily absorbed and utilised by the animal
- Supported by more than 21 years of research
Functions of Organic Trace Minerals:
Cobalt (Co)
- Essential to vitamin B12 production
- Supports nutrient utilisation
- Involved in the production of glucose in the liver
Copper (Cu)
- Essential for proper cardiac function
- Reinforces the body’s defense system
- Involved in cell respiration
- Involved in reproduction
- Supports bone formation
Iron (Fe)
- Plays a role in maintaining normal metabolism
- Involved in cellular respiration
- Suppoprts the activation of oxygen and electron transport
- Reinforces the body’s defenses
Manganese (Mn)
- Maintains normal reproduction
- Enables the body to use thiamin
- Essential for the production of hormones
- Involved in blood formation
Zinc (Zn)
- Essential for wound healing
- Involved in metabolism
- Affects development, bone and blood formation
- Needed for transfer of carbon dioxide in red blood cells
- Has an antioxidant effect in protecting membranes
