Amino acid chelation in human and animal nutrition
Although introduction of amino acid chelates in mineral nutrition initially met considerable skepticism and controversy, the greater absorption and bioavailability of amino acid chelated minerals compared to nonchelated minerals have been well-documented for decades. Amino Acid Chelation in Human and Animal Nutrition compiles published chemical, nutritional, and clinical studies with new unpublished research. It interprets the combined data for the first time to explain why the body responds to an amino acid chelate differently than it does to inorganic metal salts.
The fundamentals of mineral nutrition -- The chemistry of chelation -- The history of nutritional chelates -- The requirements for a nutritionally functional chelate -- The development of analytical methods to prove amino acid chelation -- Absorption of amino acid chelates from the alimentary canal -- The pathways for absorption of an amino acid chelate -- The absorption of amino acid chelates by active transport -- The absorption of amino acid chelates by facilitated diffusion -- The fate of amino acid chelates in the mucosal cell -- The uptake of amino acid chelates into and out of the plasma -- Tissue metabolism of amino acid chelates -- Some metabolic responses of the body to amino acid chelates -- Toxicity of amino acid chelates -- The absorption and metabolism of amino acid chelates.
