What makes chelated mineral glycinates so special? First, we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals chemically bonding to amino acids in a very specific way. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate the transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so they can be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only “chelators” available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic mineral chelates. Glycine is easily recognized and absorbed through the intestinal wall, and Albion glycine chelates are small enough to penetrate into the cells!
