Abstract
The invention is directed to tetrahydrocurcuminoid-metal complexes. The complexes can be included in compositions that further include additional nutraceutical antimicrobials, antioxidants, and immune boosters. The tetrahydrocurcuminoid-metal complexes can be administered to animals to increase animal health, reduce stress, reduce oxidative stress, maintain health, improve health, improve immunity, improve vaccination efficacy, increase feed conversion rate, decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, or any combination thereof in an animal. The tetrahydrocurcuminoid-metal complexes of the invention exhibit enhanced bioavailability relative to the individual, non-complexed components.
