[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1502382, member: 9096"] I think the additional price of chelated minerals can quickly exceed the increased bioavailability... Take Copper for example.. Now if you have Copper Oxide, you might as well just throw it out, it's insoluble and useless, but Copper Sulfate is very soluble and fairly bioavailable.. It's also relatively cheap and easy to get.. You can easily increase the content with little additional cost.. I'm not sure that going to chelated is going to give you a lot of bang for your buck.. On other minerals it may be different. For my area I look to have about 2500mg/kg of copper and 100mg/kg Selenium, Lots of phosphorus. [/QUOTE]
