Vistore

Why Feed Vistore®?

All Vistore mineral products are hydroxychloride mineral sources which may offer benefits over sulfate and oxide mineral sources.

Vistore Mineral Products Function to Help Support:
Copper (Cu 580)
  • Collagen synthesis and maintenance
  • Enzyme function
  • Red blood cell maturation
  • Reproduction
  • Immune response
Manganese (Mn 540)
  • Bone growth and cartilage synthesis
  • Enzyme function
  • Reproduction
  • Immune response
Zinc (Zn 590)
  • Protein synthesis
  • Vitamin A utilization
  • Epithelial tissue integrity
  • Immune response
  • Reproduction

Material science research demonstrates that all Vistore mineral products:

  • Offer desirable purity, with high concentrations of the target mineral.
  • Offer desirable quality, with low heavy metal content.
  • May improve absorption and bioavailability in the animal.
  • Are highly soluble.
  • Are premix stable and protected from antagonists.

The purity, chelation and stability of Vistore mineral products are verified by:

  • Elemental analysis
  • Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • X-ray powder diffraction (XRD)
  • Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) for neutral and acidic pH

An Alternative to Sulfate Mineral Sources

Experiments were conducted to determine nutrient absorption and bioavailability of Vistore hydroxychloride source mineral products (Cu 580, Zn 590 & Mn 540) versus other inorganic mineral sources.

Results demonstrated:

  • Improved serum concentrations of target trace mineral(s).
  • Increased mineral content of target trace mineral(s) in bone.
  • Increased mineral concentrations of target trace mineral(s) in the liver.

Production and performance improvements were also reported and directly associated with increased mineral absorption of hydroxychloride mineral sources.
