Why do pet foods need to contain minerals?
Minerals are vital to cellular activity. Minerals cannot be synthesized by the body and must be supplemented in the diet to ensure proper assimilation of other nutrients. A high quality, bio-available mineral package will ensure that the body maintains efficient use of vitamins, enzymes and hormones. Depletion or an unbalance of just one single mineral compound in a pet’s diet can create a dangerous imbalance. Improperly balanced vitamins can cause problems relating to the nervous system, immune system, skin and tissue, bones and joints, blood, heart and blood vessels, intestines, eyes and ears.
