Novel chromium (III) alpha amino acid complexes. Novel chromium (III) alpha amino acid complexes.

摘要

Chromium (III) 1:3 complexes of alpha amino acids such as methionine are used as animal nutritional supplements. The chromium ion is complexed with three Methionine molecules to form the coordination complex anion [CR(met)SUB3/SUBSUP+/SUP]. The complex is easily absorbed to provide a bioavailable source for methionine, chromium and for nutritional supplementation of animals.
