What is Vitacost Chelated Calcium & Magnesium - Albion® Calcium and Magnesium Glycinate Chelate?
Vitacost Chelated Calcium & Magnesium - Albion® Calcium and Magnesium Glycinate Chelate is a combination formula that supplies the minerals calcium and magnesium in highly bioavailable chelate form. Also included is 100 IU of vitamin D per serving.
Chelated minerals are minerals that have been chemically bound to another molecule (typically an amino acid) to form a complex. Chelation naturally occurs during digestion, after stomach acid and enzymes break down protein into amino acids. Amino acids bind to minerals, assisting their transport through the intestinal walls.
Unfortunately, the body is not efficient at producing chelated minerals. So, Albion developed an exclusive technology that mimics the body’s natural chelation process, producing readily absorbable organic chelated minerals in supplement form. Glycine, an easily identified and efficiently absorbed amino acid, is the chelator (binding agent) most commonly used in Albion formulations.
Albion chelated minerals are:
Produced in laboratories under carefully controlled conditions, utilizing an advanced, patented chelation process
Nutritionally functional with an ultimate glycine-to-mineral molar ratio
Clinically researched and chemically validated with TRAACS (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System)
Guaranteed pure and stable How does Vitacost Chelated Calcium & Magnesium - Albion® Calcium and Magnesium Glycinate Chelate support health?
Calcium is an essential ingredient of bone that must constantly be replenished.*
Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis by slowing the rate of bone loss for people with a family history of the disease, post-menopausal women, and elderly men and women.
