[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1387036, member: 6897"] Specific amino acid complexes are the products resulting from complexing a soluble metal salt with a specific amino acid. For instance, one of the most common metal complexes is zinc methionine which is produced by combining zinc sulfate and amino acid methionine. Other such common complexes include copper lysine and manganese methionine. [b][u]These complexes are most effective and efficiently absorbed in gut among all the organic minerals.
