Our story
Our philosophy - a company for the good of animals
We didn't create our company for our sake, we created it for our best friends, the animals. Our passion lies in improving the health of horses and dogs. In 2014 Nina & Sophie started Activ Mineral, which is now called Minerals by Nordic and has already helped horses feel better all over Europe. Minerals by Nordic sells products developed by Nina Fornander with lifelong experience in horse nutrition in consultation with veterinarians, osteopaths, agronomists and not least the users - riders & drivers from all over Europe.
Nina Fornander started the company Khepri Förlag in 2005 when she read Pat Coleby's books on how to keep horses and agriculture in a natural way. The mineral concept found in the books was something she stuck to and chose to translate and publish the books in Swedish. Nina also started a webshop where each mineral could be purchased separately. After a couple of years she felt that she wanted to make the concept more easily accessible by producing a ready-made basic mineral mixture adapted to Scandinavian conditions that are fed easily and economically. Nina is a certified TTEAM trainer and Laser Therapist. For many years she has been interested and followed research on the alternative art of medicine and how to help horses feel as good as possible. Minerals by Nordic sells products developed by Nina Fornander, with her lifelong experience in horse nutrition, she develops products in consultation with veterinarians, osteopaths, agronomists and not least the users - riders & drivers from all over Europe.

Sophie Fornander chose to join us on the Minerals by Nordic trip when Nina wanted to make the Activ Mineral mixture more accessible! Sophie has grown up in the stable and the mineral mixture has a special place in her heart. Seeing how much it can help horses in health and performance makes the drive to spread the message. Sophie has an education at the IHM Business School in marketing and works mainly with development, operations, marketing and social media. Sophie also shoots and films all the horses for Activ Mineral and of course they have all eaten after the mineral concept.
