What Makes Swanson Ultra® Albion® Chelated Multi-Mineral Glycinate Unique?

Swanson Albion® Chelated Multi-Mineral with Iron goes beyond basic mineral supplementation by pairing Albion chelated minerals with a blend of supportive whole-food and specialty ingredients. In addition to essential major and trace minerals, our formula includes horsetail extract, a natural source of silica that complements bone and connective tissue nutrition; chlorella, a nutrient-dense green superfood that provides naturally occurring phytonutrients and trace nutrients; and a blend of digestive enzymes, including bromelain and papain, to support digestion and nutrient utilization. Together, these ingredients create a more comprehensive nutritional formula designed to support whole-body wellness.

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!
