A further note about reading clinical studies on chelated minerals
If a study is done listing a specific type of chelated mineral’s performance it is important to know what company manufactured the chelated mineral. As shown here all chelates are not created equal. It is not enough information for a study to simply list it used a chelated mineral. It is important a chelated mineral analysis be done prior to inclusion in the study to truly validate the results. As shown here, all mineral chelates are not created equal, they are not all fully reacted chelates. An accurate study should list the manufacturer of the chelate used or present factual test results on the chelates reacted status.
There have been studies done for a comparative analysis between a ‘generic’ chelated mineral and an inorganic mineral. Some results show very little difference between the ‘chelated’ mineral and the inorganic mineral. The question does then come up as to what quality of chelated mineral are they testing? Whose mineral are they testing?
We hope this makes you a better informed consumer. Knowledge is the tool for better decisions and better choices. Through knowledge you can gain better health.
