Peer-Reviewed Research
|
|
Zinpro research is validated and proven in the industry. We have more peer-reviewed research than any other trace mineral company. Other organic trace mineral companies claim to have a research database on their products. But their research typically will not stand up as solid proof when it is examined in detail. |
|
• Their studies are often done on only a handful of animals, if done in the field at all.
• Their studies are not repeated multiple times to verify results.
• Their abstracts are offered as proof of performance.
• Their research is often only conducted in a lab, rather than including animal efficacy studies.
Animals don’t lie about trace mineral performance. Trust and rely on the proven science and animal efficacy research that Zinpro provides. |

The 5-Rs: Essential Performance Minerals Criteria |
|
When put to the test, Zinpro Performance Minerals® rise above all other minerals on the market. Zinpro Performance Minerals are built on a molecule that consists of one metal ion bound to one amino acid ion – called either metal amino acid complexes or metal-specific amino acid complexes. We hold numerous patents on these products and the processes by which they are made, and they’ve been proven time and again to perform in all types of animal production by meeting the 5-Rs essential criteria for performance minerals.

|
Response
|
|
Zinpro designs its Performance Minerals to deliver a repeatable response under real conditions. It is one thing to generate a response when every variable is controlled, and entirely another to demonstrate the same results in a production environment. We know animals respond positively when their diets are supplemented with Zinpro Performance Minerals®, and we stake our future on that promise to our customers each and every day.
|
|
Trace Mineral Performance Criteria
|
|
· Must demonstrate a response in the target species that is superior to the level of performance obtained by standard minerals.
· Response exceeds the level of performance obtained by other standard mineral supplementation.
|
|
Every product, every business decision, begins with our customers in mind.
|
|
Repeatability
|
|
Repeatable results begin at the molecular level. Zinpro Performance Minerals® are manufactured using patented technology, which binds one specific soluble metal (such as zinc, copper or manganese) to an amino acid. This simple and stable structure ensures maximum bioavailability and consistent absorption for improved animal performance. In the end, with more than 35 years of research in the industry, we know our products produce repeatable results, repeatable success and most importantly, repeat customers. |
|
Trace Mineral Performance Criteria
• Parameters must be repeated in research studies.
• Significant use by leading companies, nutritionist and producers means confidence and repeatedly positive animal performance benefits.
|
|
I need to see consistent results under real conditions.

Return
Every Zinpro Performance Minerals® product must be proven to deliver a positive return on investment before we bring it to market. We back this proven return with superior support. Our animal nutrition experts strive to help every customer understand the science behind our products. Our aim is to help you succeed by helping you achieve optimum results from every gram of Zinpro product.
|
|
Trace Mineral Performance Criteria
• Mineral product must show a positive return on investment.
• Return must be based on an analysis of multiple research trials with statistically significant animal performance parameters.
|
|
Show me a measurable return, and then we’ll talk.

Research
You can rely on Zinpro to provide world-class research, clear results and repeatable performance. Zinpro earned its reputation for providing the highest performing trace minerals in the industry through years of scientific research and by delivering real-life results. In fact, every Zinpro product has been proven through quality research, long before it finds its way into a ration or diet.
|
|
Trace Mineral Performance Criteria
• Must be conducted by accredited, independent universities, leading researchers or independent research institutions.
•Sound experimental designs evaluate response from the mineral source, not just the level of mineral added.
•Response measurements must be statistically significant.
•Multiple studies must show a similar response.
•Research results should be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
•Research must be conducted on the target species, using commercially relevant production levels.
|
|
I expect to see sound, scientific research performed by reputable institutions.

Trace Minerals 101
|
|
Trace minerals provide the essential nutrients animals need for metabolic functions such as growth and development, immunity and reproduction. Even moderate deficiencies can adversely impact animal performance. Find out more about the various functions of each trace mineral, as well as signs of a trace mineral deficiency.
