Dog And Cat

Vital™ TBMC

  • Mn as an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in bone development, reproduction, and metabolism
  • Helps in cartilage and connective tissue formation
  • Advantages vs. traditional MnO or MnSO₄
    • Higher stability in premixes
  • Less reactive with vitamins and fats → improved shelf-life of pet food
    • Lower dusting, better handling

Vital™ TBCC

  • Cu as being important for red blood cell formation, connective tissue synthesis, and coat pigmentation
  • Supports immune function
  • Advantages vs. CuSO₄
    • More stable in extruded pet foods (CuSO₄ tends to catalyze fat oxidation and destroy vitamins)
    • Reduced pro-oxidant activity → protects sensitive ingredients like fish oil or vitamin E
    • Improved palatability (less metallic taste compared to CuSO₄)

Vital™ TBZC

  • Zn being crucial for skin and coat health, wound healing, and immune function
  • Supports enzyme activity (e.g., in digestion and metabolism)
  • Advantages vs. ZnO or ZnSO₄
  • Better stability in premixes and extruded kibbles.
    • Lower solubility → reduced interactions with other nutrients (like phytate or vitamins).
    • Enhanced bioavailability compared to ZnO.

Choline Chloride

  • Must be heavily supplied in the diet for cat.  Deficiency leads to fatty liver, poor growth, reproductive issues, and neurological problems.
  • Must be supplied in the diet for dog. Deficiency leads to fatty liver, poor growth problems. Enhances cognitive function.
