[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1831166, member: 42463"] That "too much and too little" really makes me wonder. Are there wild animals in the natural habitat that are having problems? I have to admit that I'm skeptical of these people selling minerals as an all inclusive solution to problems. I see it as snake oil. On the other hand... I do know there are areas where some kind of deficiencies exist. And I do know that there are very small amounts of nutrients that can enhance health. But overall I'd bet that 90% of minerals are sold to assuage fears generated by advertising (including "articles/studies" meant to generate concern by people that want to do the best they can for their animals but without any real knowledge other than what they read in those articles/studies) and in the end the result is good feelings due to a placebo effect. And not saying this is you... just that it happens. [/QUOTE]
