Our minerals are fully reacted to form the most absorbable and stable ring structure. A range of interesting and educational videos on chelated minerals. ALBION is the world leader and innovator in mineral amino acid chelate nutrition. We supply a comprehensive range of chelated minerals and products from Albion Minerals. These special organic forms are mineral amino acid chelates. Albion’s amino acid chelates are used in mineral supplements and food fortification to provide complete organic mineral nutrition, giving your body the greatest chance to absorb the minerals for the best biological advantage. Creatine is a compound that is made in our bodies, is eaten in our food and can be taken as a dietary supplement. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Higher level of absorption than other combination regimens of magnesium and creatine. Iron is an essential nutrient in human health, playing a role in immune function, cardiovascular health, and cognitive development. However, inorganic iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate still have low bioavailability and typically produce undesirable side effects, such as gastric upset and nausea. Ferrochel is chelated and electrically neutral; it is not attracted to a magnetic field. Small, stable and non-reactive, the Ferrochel molecule is better absorbed. In their ordinary form, minerals are difficult for the body to absorb through the intestine.Because small protein peptides are easier for the body to absorb, the body will combine inorganic minerals with amino acids to take advantage of the intestine’s affinity for protein absorption.This binding process is called chelation (key-lay-shun). When a mineral salt is dissolved in the stomach, the mineral becomes a charged ion that can block absorption of other nutrients or combine with other dietary factors to form unabsorbable compound. This neutrality ensures that the mineral does not react with other nutrients and is delivered to the intestine for absorption. When stomach acid breaks an iron salt molecule, iron oxidises Vitamin E and blocks calcium uptake. Because Ferrochel is a neutral, fully-reacted molecule, it doesn’t break down in stomach acid and is delivered intact to the intestine, where it is easily absorbed. Ferrochel’s ability to safely and effectively deliver critical iron during these crucial stages of development is significant. In clinical research comparing inorganic iron to Ferrochel, a significant number of study participants preferred Ferrochel and reported fewer instances of gastrointestinal (GI) upset than with ferrous sulfate, which is typically associated with gastric side effects such as constipation and nausea. At the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, Albion has conducted clinical studies that prove its raw material selection and manufacturing processes produce effective, absorbable chelates. Given the possibilities in process variation, few companies can use clinical studies and research to prove their process and their product. It is extremely rare that a company will prove that their product is fully reacted or even that an effective chelation process has taken place. This process is unique not only for the type of manufacturing process but for each specific nutritional mineral being chelated.
