Chelated minerals
A chelated mineral is, in chemical terms, a complex of a metal cation and one or more organic compounds in a stable ring structure.
As an organic compound an amino acid is in this connection particularly suited to constitute a stable chemical ring structure. The ring structure below illustrates such a complex ("M" represents a mineral).
The advantages of chelates are the above-mentioned structure and the particularly good solubility with a very good bioavailability.
