What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior?
First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only "chelators" available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion's glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!

FAQ
- What are the benefits of taking zinc?
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in hundreds of biological processes throughout the body. It helps support immune health, antioxidant activity, healthy skin, and normal cellular function. Because the body cannot produce or store zinc, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Many people choose zinc supplements as part of their daily wellness routine to help maintain overall health and nutritional balance. - How much zinc should I take daily?
The amount of zinc that may be appropriate can vary depending on factors such as age, sex, diet, and individual nutritional needs. Zinc supplements are available in a variety of strengths, and it is important to follow the serving recommendations provided on the product label. If you have questions about the amount of zinc that may be right for you, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. - Should I take zinc with food?
Zinc can be taken with or without food; however, many people prefer taking it with a meal to help minimize the potential for stomach discomfort. Following the product's suggested use directions can help ensure the best experience. If you are taking multiple supplements or medications, consult a healthcare professional about the timing that may work best for your individual needs. - What is the best form of zinc?
Several forms of zinc are commonly used in dietary supplements, including zinc picolinate, zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, zinc bisglycinate, and zinc sulfate. Each form provides elemental zinc but may differ in how it is formulated and absorbed. The best form for you may depend on your personal preferences, nutritional goals, and the specific product formulation. Choosing a high-quality zinc supplement from a trusted brand is often more important than focusing on any single form alone. - What does “Albion® Chelated Zinc Glycinate” mean?
