What are “chelated minerals?
The term chelation, which comes from the Greek word “claw,” refers to the process of binding a mineral to another substance. When minerals such as zinc, magnesium, iron 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. Infinity2 uses only amino-acid chelated minerals from the only company which holds a patent on that process, Albion Laboratories. Other mineral supplements on the market claim to include chelated minerals but often use admixtures and not true amino-acid chelates.
