Tag: Amino acid chelation

A human study found calcium from a chelated form was absorbed nearly twice as well as its non-chelated counterpart when taken on an empty stomach [1]. But does this enhanced absorption apply across the board, making chelated minerals the superior choice for everyone?

According to the National Institutes of Health, copper levels in the body are homeostatically maintained by absorption from the intestine. Chelated copper is designed to optimize this process, but many wonder, **how is chelated copper made?** The creation of this highly absorbable mineral complex involves a precise chemical reaction to form a stable, ring-like structure.
