How do animals assimilate AZOMITE® in the gut?
In an animal’s gastric phase, AZOMITE® is exposed to large amounts of hydrochloric acid that likely converts the minerals into chloride salts that are soluble in the gut. Also, the mineral oxides in AZOMITE® may combine with the breakdown products of proteins or carbohydrates in the gut to form “chelates” which are soluble. These natural chelates are readily absorbed into the blood stream where the mineral can be made available and utilized by the animal’s biochemistry.
