What is the difference between citrates, aspartates, glycinates, malates and picolinates?
Aspartates, citrates, malates, glycinates, and picolinates are superior forms of chelates because they are organic compounds (carbon-containing), which are better absorbed by the body. Most of these chelates are also krebs cycle intermediates, supporting the body’s metabolic processes. Minerals chelated with inorganic compounds such as carbonate are not as well absorbed.
