Why do other companies use chemically synthesize vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients if they pose a potential toxic risk?
When a pet food manufacturer adds chemically synthesized vitamins and minerals to its formulas, it is an admission that the food ingredients alone are inadequate to supply the nutritional needs of a dog or cat. The National Research Council states that chemically synthesized mineral and vitamin supplements are provided frequently to correct the deficiencies in the ingredients used in animal diets.
