The LomaChelateX® Mineral Bisglycinates are a class of real-chelated minerals that have gained significant attention in the world of nutrition and health due to their unique properties and potential benefits to the body. Chelated minerals are compounds in which a ligand, typically an organic molecule, effectively surrounds and “grabs” a free metal ion through multiple coordination bonds. LomaChelateX® Mineral Bisglycinates consist of a mineral ion bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, forming a ring-like structure with the mineral ion at the centre. This unique structure results in a highly stable compound with strong covalent bonds between the mineral ion and the ligand glycine. Moreover, the chelate structure protects the metal ion from unwanted reactions which ensures effective absorption of the mineral and less gastro-intestinal side-effects.

Amino acid chelate – The protective shield for Minerals
Glycine acts as a “protective shield” in an amino acid chelate where the metal ion is surrounded by two glycine molecules. This unique structure protects the metal ion from unwanted interactions with other compounds such as inhibitors like phytates or other nutrients, ensuring the product´s shelf-life and stability. Additionally, it helps to pass gently through the stomach and into the intestine where it is digested. The release of the metal ion in the intestine ensures optimized absorption, bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects. Mineral Bisglycinates, also known as amino acid chelates, are considered “fully reacted,” meaning that the mineral ion is completely bound to the ligand glycine in a 1:2 ratio. Why is that important? Only fully reacted Bisglycinates are real chelates and offer the substantial advantages.
LomaChelateX Magnesium Bisglycinate
A key advantage of Magnesium Bisglycinate is its excellent gastrointestinal tolerance. While some Magnesium Salts are associated with laxative effects or digestive discomfort, Bisglycinate is generally well tolerated even at higher intakes. LomaChelateX Magnesium bisglycinate is ideal for a variety of application formats such as capsules, sticks and powder formats.
LomaChelateX Ferrous Bisglycinate
Iron deficiency is among the most widespread nutritional gaps globally. Conventional iron salts often cause gastrointestinal discomfort and may be less efficiently absorbed. Ferrous bisglycinate, by contrast, is valued for its high bioavailability and excellent tolerability, making it a preferred choice for supporting healthy iron levels. Its gentle profile also makes it well suited for individuals with increased sensitivity, including pregnant women and athletes.
