what does chelated mean?
2085162
The strict meaning is an atomic one, regarding binding of metal ions; but the practical one is that it is a chemical process applied to zinc making it easier to digest (I found that normal zinc tablets made me queasy, especially on an empty stomach, whereas chelated zinc does not)

NO. NOT in its undiluted form. This is an acid and will give you acid burns.

Glycinate chelate is more absorbable in your body. The common one magnesium oxide is what's in milk of magnesia which you know what that does. Hope this helps.

No oxide. This is a glycinate chelate form, which makes it more absorbable.

I'm trying to find the same information. I think it is 50mg of Zn (elemental zinc). The reason is that the label indicates 333% of recommended daily value per tablet. If the 50mg were zinc gluconate, that would translate to 7mg of elemental Zinc (there is 14% of Zn in zinc gluconate by weight), which is definitely not 333% of the recommended daily value.What I am doing is splitting the tablets in half (I might split them in quarters), as 50mg plus any dietary intake is definitely too much zinc. Too much Zinc can have negative effects (actually increase prostate cancer risk, and interfere with the absortion of other minerals like Copper, amongst others).

Natural does not mean safe. It means not man-made. Uranium is natural. Arsenic is natural. Want to ingest some of that?

Technically, it is a highly purified chemical that is derived from a plant. According to an article from NYU's Langone Medical Center, it should be thought of in just the same way as "digoxin, codeine, Sudafed, and vincristine (a chemotherapy drug), which are also highly purified chemicals taken from plants."

The chelated Iron is simply a very soluble iron supplement which is easier for the plant to uptake. If your Citrus trees are iron deficient then this will help. It should not have any negative effects on your tree either way.

It means it can easily be changed from a "continuous duty mechanical/chemical" filter to a "water polishing" filter. I run two on my 90 gal. tank and one is dedicated to water polishing only. My tank water is always CRYSTAL CLEAR.Hope this helps.

I think the term they use is just galvanized. I suppose zinc is an ingredient when galvanizing but have no idea whether hot, cold, or warm dipped. sorry They match my galvanized trailer really well and work much better than rigid bunks.

With iron nutrition, the form of iron is very important. The three common chelated forms (iron-EDDHA, DTPA and EDTA) differ in their ability to hold onto the iron (and therefore keep iron soluble and available to plants) as the pH increases. Between a pH of 4.0 to 5.5, any form of iron will work (including iron sulfate) at supplying iron to the plant. However, as the pH increases above 7.0, only the iron from Iron-EDDHA has high solubility. Research has shown that the ranking of iron forms from most effective to least effective at supplying iron at high media pH is Iron-EDDHA &gt; Iron-DTPA &gt; Iron-EDTA &gt; Iron sulfate. If iron is applied in a form that is not soluble because of high media pH, then most of the nutrient will not be available to plants until media pH is lowered. In general the best products will say EDDHA (Sequestrene 138) because they work over the widest range of pH. Sequestrene 330 is ETPA and it is more affordable. Use Sequestrene 138 only if your soil is very alkaline and calcareous If your soil is very acidic I would still use ETPA Sequestrene 330 rather than EDTA.

Hi there, Not sure what that means? but its a pink little pill that is chalk like if that makes any sense. If you left it in your mouth I am sure it would melt. Hope that helps dee

Not sure what you mean, since "deodorized" refers to something that USED TO BE smelly. If you're asking whether it smells... I actually took a huge whiff just now... and I can barely smell.... SOMEthing. Whatever it is, it's definitely not unpleasant. Again, I had to try very hard to smell anything.

The bottle states 25mg of iron bisglycinate. It is chelated which supposedly makes for better absorption.

Dear Kenneth,It means that it reduces the amount of carbon monoxide.Thank You

It meIt ismetal. It means that the metal parts are lead free or contain no lead which is hazardous to your health

No. It is ferrous sulfate. I find the labeling annoyingly misleading, as it implies that it is something other than FeSO4. What the labels means is that each tablet contains 325 mg of ferrous sulfate, which contains 65 mg of elemental iron.
