If one consumes an amino acid chelate such as iron bisglycinate, it is generally absorbed intact as far as I am aware. At some point, presumably the iron could be used for say hemoglobin synthesis and the glycine for collagen synthesis. How exactly does the dissociation of this chelate occur in the body to support this?
