Not All Chelated Minerals are same

Published: October 14, 2020
Summary
An organic mineral is a combination of a metal ion with an organic molecule called ‘ligand’ such as amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, yeast, or organic acids. Specifically, the metal ion is bound to the organic ligand through multiple attachments (either ionic or covalent) with the metal ion occupying a central position in the structure (Kincaid, 1989, Nelson, 1988).

First of all,
Thank you very much for such a detailed elaboration of Inorganic and organic trace minerals and their chelation.

You have described chelation of Zinc with HMTBa,
Is it possible to chelate macro minerals such as Ca and P with HMTBa?
and please e.mail me any product with such specifications.( tahirnaseemm@yahoo.com ).
Thanks

Macro minerals will not chelate with HMTBa, so Ca and P will not chelate with HMTBa. That is why we do not claim that MHA is a chelate.

Calcium is a group II alkaline earth metal. It acts as an ionic species, like sodium, potassium and magnesium and cannot form covalent bonds. MHA is the product of a reaction of HMTBA and calcium hydroxide= it forms a salt, not a chelate.

Phosphorus is not a metal, so it will not bind to an HMTBA molecule in the sense of metal /ligand binding.

How do we differentiate between covalent, peptide, polysaccharide & yeast molecular bonds in terms of their structure and bioavailability and performance? Could you please detail?

Sharath babu sorry for the late response, we missed this question somehow.

This classification is done by the AAFCO, (Association American Feed Control Officers): they develop and implement uniform and equitable laws, regulations, standards, definitions, and enforcement policies for regulating the manufacture, distribution, and sale of animal feeds. This association has a committee for ingredient definitions and the organic trace minerals producers send the information to get their products defined in the USA.
- Metal amino acid chelates: the ligand is an AA and the bond is defined as chelation.
- Specific metal amino acid complex: the ligand will be an amino acid and although the bond in this complex IS NOT a true chelate bond.
- Metal amino acid complex: the ligand is a combination of several amino acids.
- Metal proteinates: the ligand is a protein, bigger molecule than others.
- Metal polysaccharide complex: the ligand is essentially a “sugar”.
- Metal Methionine Hydroxy Analogue chelate: this is Mintrex. This category was the last to be created due to the defined and unique structure of Mintrex. The ligand is the methionine hydroxy analogue or HMTBa and the bond IS a defined chelation and the only available bis chelate.

So based on this we can summarize.

DIFFERENT MOLECULES: RAW MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING PROGRESS IMPACT THE TYPE AND QUALITY OF CHELATING BONDS

DIFFERENT BONDS: THE TYPE OF BONDS IN A CHELATE DETERMINE THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES INCLUDING STRENGTH AND STABILITY

DIFFERENT PROPERTIES: THE STRENGTH AND STABILITY OF BONDS REGULATE HOW CHELATED MINERALS ARE ABSORBED IN THE ANIMAL

DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE: BY PROVIDING SUPERIOR CHELATED MINERALS, YOU ENSURE THAT THE NECESSARY NUTRIENTS REACH THE ABSORPTION SITE AND MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE

@Reena Rani Is HMBTa better than all Glaycinet and MHA and Zinpro available in the market. If it is better than all these then we would love to use it in all our Cattel suppliment products.
