A method for improving the stability of amino acid-metal complexes or chelates and enhancing the uptake of these complexes into biological tissues. This method comprises forming the metal complexes with amino acids or hydrolyzed proteins and incorporating into them a buffer system which controls the pH of the complex and its surrounding media. This uptake is accomplished by the system of amino acid active transport into the blood stream from which the complex is then carried throughout the entire body.

Biological assimilation of metals

A method of preparing metal proteinates from natural proteinacous material without destroying naturally occurring vitamins and hormones which comprises neutralizing a protein containing material, subjecting said material to enzymatic hydrolysis, adjusting the enzymatically digested hydrolysate to a slightly basic pH and adding a metal salt thereto to form a metal proteinate precipitate. The proteinate thus formed is a chelate of polypeptides with metals and is substantially free from metal salts and single amino acid proteinates.
