How are chelated mineral glycinates so effective? To answer this question, we first need to better understand chelation as a process. It is the result of a specific chemical process by which minerals bind to amino acids. Chelation occurs naturally during digestion to facilitate the transport of minerals across the intestinal wall, so that they can be used by the entire body. Amino acids are not the only “chelators,” but they are the best for minerals. The body efficiently absorbs individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule in creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is easily identified and absorbed through the intestinal wall, and glycine chelates are small enough to transport directly into the cells themselves!
