 The difference between chelated and non-chelated minerals. Chelation is the chemical process by which a mineral (iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, manganese) is combined with a mixture of amino acids and peptides.  A chelated mineral is more “bioavailable” and is absorbed faster than non-chelated minerals. Chelated minerals are used when we have an imbalance that we are correcting.  We do this by creating a blend of chelated and non-chelated minerals. The chelated minerals go directly to the problem we are correcting while the non-chelated work with the other minerals to balance the ratios or relationships between individual minerals. For more information on minerals and mineral ratios visit our website at https://www.balancedecosolutions.com. We offer equine hair and mineral analysis.The equine hair tissue analysis includes a comprehensive interpretation of the mineral assay performed by a federally licensed laboratory. 15 nutritional elements are measured, 8 toxic metals, 7 significant mineral ratios, 9 toxic ratios, and an additional 15 elements. Based on the analysis we can create a custom mineral supplement.
