Why Use Chelated Minerals? Many supplements have a high mineral content, but if they are not “chelated” they are probably not usable by your body at the cellular level.
Chelation is the process of binding a mineral to another substance in order to ensure absorption and make the mineral useable by your cells. This process enables a mineral to pass through the gut wall.
Even when you attempt to eat a balanced healthy diet you will not always obtain enough essential minerals, because their bioavailability is influenced by the form in which they are consumed.
Bioavailability refers to the amount of a nutrient that can be absorbed into your body, or the degree it is utilized at the cellular level. Most minerals are poorly absorbed and certain compounds in foods may inhibit their absorption.
