Absorption Process
The cells that line the intestinal wall present a negative charge on the membrane surface. Minerals that have been dissolved in the digestive fluid which have lost their neutrality and have become positively charged will be attracted to the membrane and held tightly. In this instance, the minerals will not be allowed to pass through, and will remain held to the wall until another secretion cleanses them away.
A process called chelation accomplishes this feat for some of the minerals, while for others the electrical charge attraction is not as strong. Chelators are organic molecules that have their electrical charges arranged in such a way as to attract the positively charged mineral and temporarily tuck the mineral into a larger complex.
Thus, with the mineral ion's positive charge shielded by the large chelator molecule, the complex appears to be neutral or negatively charged and will not be held by the membrane as it passes through.
Picolinic acid is the body's prime natural chelator. There is an important reason for the body to construct this molecule: it is the most efficient chelator for minerals such as chromium, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, and perhaps molybdenum. Picolinic acid is produced from the amino acid tryptoph an in the liver and kidneys, and is transported to the pancreas. During digestion.
There is about 30 times as much Picolinic acid in mother's milk as in cow's milk. Even though there is twice as much zinc in cow's milk than in mother's milk, much more zinc is absorbed from mother's milk.
Mineral uptake by tissues is far greater when the mineral is a Picolinate, rather than the other forms. Since our bodies utilize Picolinic acid to absorb and transport certain minerals, and our cells recognize mineral picolinates and readily use them, it makes sense to design mineral supplements based on this knowledge.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are grown in a liquid growth medium in a large fermenter. The medium (think of a nutrient-rich broth) contains the desired minerals and other micronutrients at desired concentrations. As the cells grow and divide, they absorb the minerals and other nutrients in the medium, yielding a nutrient-rich biomass or food concentrate. This food concentrate can be crushed, dried, and added to pills just as carrots and berries are. And just like carrots and berries, the food concentrate is 100 percent whole food.
