Meet the latest addition to our comprehensive range of Albion chelated minerals, chelated copper. Like our other Albion chelates, our copper capsules contain a patented form of Albion glycinate chelate, ensuring maximum absorption.

What makes chelated glycinate minerals so special? First, we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the chemical bonding of minerals to amino acids in a very distinct way. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate the transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that 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 chelated minerals. Glycine is easily identified and absorbed through the intestinal wall, and Albion glycinate chelates are small enough to be delivered directly to the cells!
