The science behind OptiGuard?
OptiGuard is a premium quality 100% natural, finely milled Blue Pacific Minerals (BPM) zeolite (also known as an Aluminosilicate) that is mined and manufactured in New Zealand.
Natural BPM zeolites have a unique three-dimensional porous structure, allowing them to absorb and release water reversibly. The extensive internal network of pores coupled with cation exchange capacity of premium milled BPM zeolite, gives OptiGuard a very large surface area to support absorption, release cations, to help treat mild cases diarrhoea.
The ultra-fine particle sizes are important because they allow a larger functional surface-to-gut interface, supporting a healthy immune system, in addition to helping improve a calf’s intestinal electrolyte and water balance.
