Product Information
Biomins contains a full complement of both macrominerals
(calcium, magnesium, and potassium; minerals found in large amounts in
the body) and trace minerals, including copper and iron. Aspartic acid
(aspartate) is essential for energy production in the body.* Clinical
reports indicate aspartate chelates can be beneficial for individuals
who are fatigued, most likely because of the involvement of aspartate in
energy production on a cellular level.*
Individuals at high risk
for mineral deficiencies include the elderly due to deteriorating
digestion, children and teenagers because of poor diet, individuals with
eating disorders, and those suffering from chronic diseases. Certain
prescription medications can also result in mineral deficiencies. The
amount of minerals in fruits and vegetables depends on the soil they are
grown in; therefore, even healthy individuals who maintain a good diet
can be at risk for mineral deficiencies because of mineral-depleted
soil.
Many companies provide minerals that are chelated, or bound
to, whole proteins or peptides from potentially allergenic substances
like soy, calling them amino acid chelates. Thorne's individual minerals
are chelated to amino acids or organic acids via a molecular reaction
that provides a predictable, high quality, hypoallergenic chelate.
