palaMOUNTAINS Animal Nutrition Products

palaMOUNTAINS products are scientifically formulated to deliver a powerful dose of an essential range of essential vitamins & minerals for improved animal health and well-being.

Brian Wilkinson - Massey University

“The advantage of palaMOUNTAINS products compared to other supplements on the market is that it has both water and fat present in the product.   This means that the water soluble vitamins will dissolve in the water, whilst the fat soluble vitamins will dissolve in the oil. Because they have both been dissolved they can readily be absorbed from the small intestine which means that the animal can uptake more vitamins & minerals from the product compared to other powdered or water based vitamin products.

Professor Brian Wilkinson - Massey University

The benefits of palaMOUNTAINS products:

A patented oil formulation that allows 99.5% absorption rates

Delivers specifically formulated vitamins and nutrients to assist with overall animal health with a nil withholding period.

palaMOUNTAINS products contain water and fat soluble vitamins, which is effectively solubilised in the emulsion. Because they have been dissolved the nutrients are readily absorbed offering greater uptake of nutrients by the animal.

Fat soluble vitamins require fat in the system to assist with uptake. palaMOUNTAINS provides this polyunsaturated fat source.

Vitamins are passively taken up by cells in the gut wall, maximising nutrient uptake.

Double bond attachment.  Iodine chemically reacts with the fatty acid bond providing significantly higher uptake into the body than other water based products.

How it works:

palaMOUNTAINS products contains back to basic natural ingredients with a high absorption rate. What goes in stays in to be utilised.  

All products are formulated and ingredients extensively researched by Massey University’s Food Scientists primarily to support the nutritional requirements of animal health.  The range of palaMOUNTAINS products specifically target certain animals and provide the building blocks for healthy and vitality through healthy digestive systems.

Selected nutrients are then added to each product range to assist with targeted health issues and deficiencies.
