The blending of different mineral forms to create Amino Acid chelated complexes and other types of complexes such as whole brown rice chelates, aminoate complexes, EarthSource chelates, kreb cycle chelates, rice chelates, krebs complexes and carbonyls etc. 1,000 mg As long as 1 mcg of calcium is a chelate it can be labeled in this manner. The reason for the use of a complex is simple. The most bio-available forms of the mineral are expensive. This example illustrates the Amino Acid Chelate form of the mineral is more than twice the cost of the inorganic form.
Essentials is concerned about the safety and proper absorption of minerals.
When minerals are not in the naturally chaperoned state found in foods, amino acid chelation provides the safest and most highly utilized form of minerals. The AIB Consolidated Standards for Food Safety is published for Food processors. It is used to evaluate the food safety risks and compliance levels as measured by the criteria in the standards. Using the AIB criteria and rating system, a certificate of Achievement was awarded to Essentials.
