Albion/Balchem's Glycinate Minerals (trademarked as "TRAACS")
Original post in this thread

Anyone know if ND has tested any of Albion/Balchem's glycinate minerals? I ask because my partner and I are using InfiniLyte as a multi-mineral, I'd like to add additional iron/molybdenum glycinate with InfiniLyte to complete the full trace mineral picture.
Albion/Balchem offer both of these, though I've noticed that ND doesn't stock any of their minerals. This could mean nothing at all, or that there's a reason for the omission.
For context, the iron is only for my partner. I'm aware that iron toxicity is a serious concern for men supplementing with iron.

They are just a higher cost for no real benefit. TRAACS is just their marketing name for fully chelating the minerals, which is what we do too. We just don't make up fancy names for generic terms. TRAACS literally stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. LOL. Any properly chelated mineral will be the same. That's not to say they are bad. I am sure they are fine. They are just nothing special compared to other fully chelated minerals.
