Exactly what vitamins and minerals are offered in Micro-Phase?
Fifteen vitamins and minerals are found in Micro-Phase: calcium, phosphorus, copper, selenium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, natural vitamin E, thiamine, choline, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and vitamin B12.
Are the nutrients in Micro-Phase easily digested by horses and ponies?
Yes, many of the minerals in Micro-Phase are chelated, which means they have been chemically bound to certain organic compounds that shield the mineral from external influences during digestion and increase intestinal absorption. Yeast culture is also an ingredient in Micro-Phase. Extensive research has shown that yeast culture promotes phosphorus digestion.
Vitamin E – Natural vs. Synthetic
Vitamin E is the most powerful antioxidant in the equine diet. But not all forms of the vitamin are created equally. Most supplements contain synthetic vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol acetate), which is not as potent as natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol acetate). Compared to synthetic vitamin E, the body can more efficiently transport and deliver natural vitamin E to target tissues. Current research in several species, including horses, shows that natural vitamin E is two to three times more potent than synthetic.
