What is Complete Mineral Complex? Complete Mineral Complex by Designs for Health is an iron-free mineral formula which contains the finest chelated minerals from Albion Advanced Nutrition for optimal absorption and utilization.

Complete Mineral Complex is ideal as a daily supplement, or for use in mineral replenishment during other medical therapies that may deplete mineral status.

Why are Minerals Important? These nutrients are the main components in your teeth and bones, and they serve as building blocks for other cells and enzymes. Minerals also help regulate the balance of fluids in your body and control the movement of nerve impulses. Some minerals also help deliver oxygen to cells and help carry away carbon dioxide.

Recent research indicates that most people in the US have at least one hidden deficiency of a major mineral, such as calcium or magnesium. Even if you are eating a “balanced” or healthy diet and taking supplements, your body could still lack vital and necessary nutrition.

What Will Interfere With the Absorption of These Minerals? Nothing. Albion Minerals are made to withstand any interference including phytates, fiber, ionic minerals or even medications. They are extremely well tolerated so should not cause GI distress or affect the bowels. Mineral salts, such as calcium citrate, split apart in the gut (because they aren’t fully reacted like a true chelate). This leaves the calcium, or other loosely bound mineral, in its ionic state. All of the following can interfere with absorption of non-chelated minerals: phosphates, phytates, oxalates, fats, amino acids, other ionic minerals, and non-ideal pH. When Albion amino acid chelates (AAC) were compared against mineral salts, 1-5 times as much AAC was found in body tissue (mg metal per kg body tissue).

How Can Albion Prove Their Minerals are Truly Chelates? Albion uses sophisticated FT-IR Spectral comparison that can absolutely prove its mineral chelates post-manufacturing are indeed chelates. Incorrect peaks in this wave graph easily show when competitors’ minerals are not chelates at all. Some competitors’ ligands separate from the mineral when simply placed in water.

Aren’t Minerals Susceptible to Heavy Metal Contamination? Yes. Many on the market are problematic. Designs for Health can show proof of heavy metal testing via a Certificate of Analysis on all of our minerals where we make sure heavy metals such as lead are always below the accepted value. Zinc and calcium are particularly susceptible to lead contamination. This is another reason DFH trusts Albion minerals.
