What are Fake Minerals?
In the field of chelated compounds, “fake minerals” are products marketed as chelates but lacking true chelation. Genuine chelated minerals are created when a mineral ion is chemically bound to organic molecules like amino acids, improving stability and bioavailability.
By contrast, fake minerals may simply be mixtures of minerals and amino acids without forming a stable complex, or they may be mislabeled inexpensive salts such as oxides or carbonates. This misrepresentation can mislead consumers into believing they are receiving the benefits of true chelation.
Why choose Mineral Bisglycinates?
Our LomaChelateX® – Mineral Bisglycinates are authentic chelates in which a divalent mineral ion, such as magnesium, zinc, or iron, is securely bound by two glycine molecules. This ring-like structure shields the mineral as it passes through the stomach, minimizing interactions, oxidative stress, and gastric irritation. Absorption occurs in the small intestine through amino acid transport systems, resulting in superior bioavailability, gastrointestinal tolerance, and chemical stability.
These features make LomaChelateX® – Bisglycinates particularly well suited for sensitive groups such as pregnant women, children, or those with digestive issues and consumers who value premium ingredients, as well as for use in supplements, foods, and pharmaceuticals.

Proven. Perfection. Performance.
Interest in bisglycinates is growing, driven by their clear advantages over conventional mineral salts. However, many products claim to offer chelated minerals without evidence. To address this, our webinar will demonstrate the following about our LomaChelateX® – Mineral Bisglycinates:
- Analytical Proof – Understand how advanced techniques confirming the presence of real chelate structures.
- Application Examples – See how our LomaChelateX® – Mineral Bisglycinates perform in real-world formulations, delivering superior bioavailability and tolerability.
This session is designed for professionals in formulation, quality control, product development, scientific affairs, and purchasing.
Join us for a deep dive into the science behind true mineral chelates.
