Minerals are essential to the body's function. They work as co-factors and are vital to the structure of the bones, teeth, nails, organs and to the functioning of all systems of the body. Chelate is derived from the Greek word for claw, chele. When a mineral is chelated it is clawed or attached with an organic material such as the amino acids from protein.
