What Are Chelated Minerals?
The human body uses trace minerals (iron, magnesium, and calcium, to name just a few) to convert food into energy used for thousands of processes essential to life. The body cannot produce trace minerals by itself. It is best to get minerals from fresh, homegrown, vine-ripened fruits and vegetables, but it is virtually impossible to get enough minerals from these sources. As a result, researchers have found that the process of chelation, whereby amino acids are attached to the minerals, makes them far more absorbable and thus available for the body to utilize. Ortho Molecular Products has created a chelation process for all their minerals sold under the "Reacted" label. These chelated minerals are easier to absorb and easier on your digestive system. The majority of unchelated minerals you consume are merely passing through your system. Watch Liz from Ortho Molecular Products talk about the importance of chelated minerals in our video below.
