Your body requires over 90 different nutrients to function properly, minerals are an important aspect of this delicate balance. As your body cannot manufacture minerals, your body relies on you acquiring these from the foods you eat, and of course any health supplements you add to your diet.
Whilst many people choose to supplement with isolated, inorganic minerals, there is a far more natural and effective way to support your diet.
Chelated minerals are a preferable way to supplement, and naturally chelated minerals even more desirable.
Put simply, when a mineral is chelated, it is bound to an amino acid in a stable manner.
What this means is that the two compounds remain closely associated. Amino acids are easily absorbed, and because the two remain together, your digestive system can effectively transport the mineral across the intestinal wall in order that the mineral can do its vital work on a cellular level.
Many synthetic supplements claim to be chelated, and indeed some are subject to the intense scientific processes to achieve this complex end result. However, if shortcuts are taken, and an inorganic mineral is simply mixed with amino acids, the product will not be entirely stable, and is certainly not a true chelate.
The Best Way to Obtain Chelated Minerals
Despite the remarkable advances in modern science, laboratories cannot come close to replicating the synergy of nature.
When you choose a broad spectrum supplement, the minerals are naturally chelated, and extremely bio-available. Such “food-state” supplements can never be matched by a synthetic mineral supplement
There are several options available to you in the broad spectrum range. Each offers exceptional nutrition, and the final choice is really one of personal preference. Some people choose to add two products to their nutritional programme.
A very brief overview of some of the key products is provided below, click the links for more information
