What does chelated mean with vitamins?!


Question:

What does chelated mean with vitamins?


Answers:

Chelated basically means "firmly attached", usually to an amino acid or other organic component so that the two do not disassociate in the digestive system. For some minerals, a chelated compound is better than some other forms. Both calcium and magnesium are examples where "chelated forms" are very little if any better absorbed.
