Chelate and Chelated minerals:  pros and cons. What does it mean to you and what does your body have to do to make use of these minerals?

The dictionary: che·late   Pronunciation Key  (klt) n. Chemistry A chemical compound in the form of a heterocyclic ring, containing a metal ion attached by coordinate bonds to at least two nonmetal ions.

History and why you find on most every bottle of minerals you pick up contains the mineral plus another item.

Common examples:

• Calcium and lactate
• Calcium and carbonate

Why is this commonly done

When the pharmaceutical companies first developed minerals they could not reliably deliver the minerals in their natural (carried in vegetables) size (angstrom). The next best thing they could do is bind the larger size pieces together with something human digestive system could make use of. So they trick the body into making some use of  the minerals in the tablet. 

Good news

It took some time, but now minerals are available that have the same properties (characteristics) that you benefit from when you consume fresh vegetable juice.

Those characteristics are:

• Angstrom in size
• Water soluble
• Crystallizes when dehydrated 
• Re-hydrates easily becoming usable again.

And most importantly. . . your body does not have to digest the mineral in order to make it bio-available.
