superior bioavailability of B-Traxim organic
trace minerals
At the 12th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and Animals (Northern
Ireland) in June, new data were presented to demonstrate the high bioavailability
of B-TRAXIM.
A trial supervised by W. Windisch (BOKU, Vienna) and P. Schlegel (Pancosma)
tested zinc glycinate compared to zinc sulfate. True absorption of dietary Zn
was significantly higher in B-TRAXIM than in zinc sulfate.
This resulted in a significantly improved zinc retention for the organic formĀ :
+30% (p<0,05). It confirmed results obtained in North Carolina State University
(USA), where zinc from B-TRAXIM appeared to be significantly more bioavailable
in cattle than two inorganic and organic sources (Spears, Livestock Production
Science, 2004).
The zinc glycinate B-TRAXIM 2C is a pure crystalline structure which therefore
refers to a chemical identity. This organic source could thus serve as a model
to any other undefined organic form.
