Collection: Nano Minerals

Nano Minerals by the Health Factory are the most carefully produced, premium mineral supplements on the market, bringing the amazing potency of nanotechnology to benefit human health.

They are a cutting edge way to give the body the minerals it may have difficult absorbing otherwise.

In scientific terms, Nano means ‘one billionth’ or 0.000000001. Particles can be described as one nanometre in size. From a laymans perspective you could just imagine that these particles are rendered extremely small for the purposes of increasing their surface area and making them more absorbable.

In this scenario, nano minerals offer a 21st century solution to giving the body what it needs to survive.

Chelated minerals, meaning they’ve been chemically bound with a chelating agenct (such as an amino acid) are commonly offered in the health supplement market with the promise of increased absorption.

Evidence that this is true is, in fact, somewhat scant. A study examining the benefits of chelated iron, for example, concluded negligible difference in blood iron levels from women who’d taken chelated iron vs those who had taken a conventional supplement (ref).

Studies on nano iron, however, concluded significantly improved absorption (ref), plus the supplement has the added benefit of being gentler on the gut.
