SUSTAR ORGANIC TRACE MINERAL(MHA-Chelate)

ORGANIC TRACE MINERAL

04 MHA-Chelate

Methionine Hydroxy Analogue (MHA) -Chelate

Triple Benefits – Organic Acid, Minerals & Amino Acid

Ligand Features

Chelated with HMTBA (methionine hydroxy analogue) to Zn, Mn, Cu, and Ca. As an organic acid, it enhances gut health and nutrient uptake, while the stable chelates ensure high absorption efficiency and intestinal compatibility.

Absorption Mechanism
ORGANIC TRACE MINERAL Absorption Mechanism(1)

Organic Acid Pathway

Uptake via MCT1 and passive diffusion; stable in stomach acid and foregut conditions – no dissociation.

Gut‑Friendly

Optimizes intestinal pH and microbiota, indirectly boosting nutrient uptake.

Triple Action

Converts to methionine post‑absorption, providing the limiting amino acid for synergistic nutrition.

Function & Application

Product Efficacy

Organic Acid Synergy

Gentle gut acidification, improved intestinal health, enhanced mineral solubility and uptake

Synergistic Nutrition

Amino acid carrier boosts mineral efficiency for superior nutritional value

Organic Calcium · Bone & Eggshell Structure Stability, No Antagonism

Provides highly bioavailable organic calcium to strengthen bones and improve eggshell quality.

Production Performance

Supports growth, boosts productivity, and optimizes feed conversion
