Co-host Tigger Montague discusses sourcing ingredients, and how BioStar chooses what goes into their whole food supplements:
“Have you ever looked down a list of ingredients on packaged feed or supplements and wondered what and where those ingredients come from? Not only the country of origin, but also how ingredients were grown, harvested, processed, and extracted. Are the ingredients made in a laboratory or grown on a farm? How was it grown? Was it produced sustainably? Is it fair trade?
These are just a few of the questions we ask when sourcing ingredients for our supplements. One of the challenges of being a whole food supplement company is sourcing ingredients of the highest quality possible.
Even in a global economy where there can be many choices, finding quality raw materials is a little like being Indiana Jones on the hunt for rare archeological treasures. From locating to testing, learn how BioStar discerns which ingredient “makes the cut” to be included in one of its supplements for your horse or dog.”
