Albion Amino Acid Chelates
Why are minerals bound to amino acids to form a chelate?
The body is very efficient at absorbing amino acids. Chelating minerals to these allows them to be smuggled in the transport process across the intestinal wall.

What are the effects of poorly chelated minerals?
Many so called "chelated minerals" on the market today simply mix inorganic minerals with amino acids in liquid or dry mixtures, producing an unstable product. Poorly chelated minerals lose integrity during digestion becoming unstable, are too large to be absorbed, interfere with the absorption of other dietary components, can deactivate other nutrients, and are not well tolerated.

Why are Albion chelated minerals better?
Albion Laboratories has developed the ability to closely duplicate the natural chelation process with occurs in the body. Albion chelates are highly bioavailable and therefore more effective. Albion has accumulated documentation from over 40 years of research and development, on its way to over 100 current patents. This documentation comes from intense analytical work, and well designed clinical studies. Albion can prove it!


Useful Definitions
Chelation
When minerals such as zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, iron, cobalt, and others become surrounded by and bonded to amino acids, in a stable form, this is referred to as chelation. Chelation is a natural means for the body to transport minerals across the intestinal wall as part of digestion.

Bioavailabilty
A measure of how well the body can utilize a mineral.

Absorption
A measure of how well the supplement is transferred from the GI tract into the blood or lymph system.
