Chelated basically means "firmly attached." Chelated minerals are minerals which are usually attached to an amino acid or other organic "living" component so that the two do not separate in the digestive system. Scientists developed Chelated Minerals because most people don't eat properly to receive the amount of minerals necessary for good health.
It is believed by some that chelated minerals are better absorbed than non-chelated minerals. With certain minerals like chromium or zinc, this quite possibly the case. However, in most cases chelated and non-chelated minerals have the same rate of absorption.
How are Chelated Mineral Supplements Made?
Chelation, when referring to mineral supplements, is a very specific type of chelation. Basically, the mineral ion is bound to another component which is usually an organic "living" compound or amino acid which will make it easier for the mineral to be absorbed through the intestine into the bloodstream. This method of delivering minerals bypasses the natural pathway used for ionic "living" mineral absorption. Ionic minerals are "naturally" chelated by our body once they are absorbed by the intestinal membrane.
Only a specific chelate can bypass digestion and not separate from its attached mineral(s) as it is absorbed through the stomache. All chelated minerals are not made with the same binding component. If the label lists one of these chelates, it means the mineral is bound either too tightly or not tightly enough, and will be released improperly. Chelation of minerals to be used as nutritional supplements is a very precise science.
The following is a list of SUBSTANDARD CHELATES, or binding agents, which are used by some manufacturers because they are cheaper to produce:
- CARBONATES
- CITRATES
- OXIDES
- SULFATES
- CHLORIDES
- PHOSPHORUS
