Albion Minerals – The Original.
Albion® is the original chelated mineral.
Winning isn’t luck. It’s built from the inside out. Just like developing cutting-edge solutions, it all starts from the content – choosing the right ingredients.
But in a world full of choices, we know that finding the right ingredients can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to share our story and explain how Albion® Minerals can help you raise the bar for your next supplement innovation.
Founders in Fact, Not in Fiction
“Albion® pioneered amino acid chelates — long before they became the industry standard. My grandfather Harvey Ashmead transformed nature’s concept into validated science. With proven absorption and real bioavailability. We are the original. And still the leader.”
— Stephen Ashmead, Sr Fellow for Chelates R&D at Balchem Corp. – and grandson of the original Albion Minerals founder, Harvey H. Ashmead
