Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals

NOVUS pioneered bis-chelated organic trace minerals that support productivity and profitability 

Are your Minerals Made of More™? 

Trace minerals provide many benefits for animal growth and health and are available in many forms. Only one type of trace mineral is Made of More™, 

NOVUS bis-chelated organic trace materials can have a significant, sustainable impact as they are more efficiently used by animals than inorganic and other organic trace minerals.  

NOVUS has a portfolio of trace mineral products to help optimize profitability.

Not an Ordinary Organic Trace Mineral

There’s inorganic. There’s organic. And then there’s bis-chelated organic. 

Innovated more than 20 years ago by NOVUS and available in zinc, copper, or manganese; poultry, swine and dairy producers around the world have come to rely on these minerals to help their animals reach their full potential.  

Bis-chelated trace minerals from NOVUS are highly available, shown to bypass changes in pH and antagonists in the gut to reach the site of absorption and be used by the animal. Strong absorption means NOVUS bis-chelates are often added to the ration at a lower rate and the animal excretes less mineral in the environment. 

The NOVUS Difference 

NOVUS pioneered bis-chelated trace mineral technology with the introduction of MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals in 2004.  

Building on that scientific foundation, the next era in mineral absorption was launched in 2026: RELYZANT™ Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals.  

Today, NOVUS remains the only company offering two authentic bis-chelated solutions: 

  • MINTREX® Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals, featuring methionine source HMTBa as the ligands; for programs that want the benefit of a powerful amino acid 
  • RELYZANT™ Bis-Chelated Trace Minerals, featuring lactic acid ligands designed for flexibility in modern feeding programs
