What are the Differences Between Ionic, Chelated and Metallic Minerals?
Ionic Minerals Ionic minerals are derived from plants. They are up to 98% absorbable depending on the electrical charge of the atom. The intestinal lining is positively charged. Therefore, it is able to absorb negatively charged ionic minerals with the greatest efficiency. Positively charged minerals, whether they are ionic, chelated, or metallic, are not as highly absorbable. If you want your body to absorb the greatest percentage of minerals from whatever supplement you may be taking, you should be taking a blend of at least 60 negatively charged (bio-electrically available) minerals. You should also be aware that bio-electrically available ionic minerals are only available in liquid form. If you are taking a pill, powder or tablet, you are not getting negatively charged ionic minerals! The reason is that during the processing used to create pills, powders, and tablets any negative charge that may have existed is destroyed. So, if you want the best source of minerals, you should seek
