From its beginnings as a veterinary pharmaceutical supplier to its current position as a supplier of the highest quality mineral chelates to the human, animal and plant industries, Albion has been at the leading edge of scientific investigations into minerals.
When Harvey H. Ashmead, ., founded Albion in 1956, the company started experimenting with chelation in an attempt to increase absorption of minerals in animal feed. The company's findings that chelation enhanced mineral absorption and animal performance have served as the bedrock for further investigation and development of new applications, which have resulted in Albion receiving more than 100 patents in the United States and around the world.
Albion's research on its patented amino acid chelates was reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration in the 1970s as the agency was concerned that unscrupulous companies were making false claims about bioavailability and chelation. After its review, FDA and Albion signed an agreement acknowledging Albion's chelates were sale and effective. In the ensuing years, Albion has led the effort to clear marketplace confusion about the process of chelation.
Its state of the art production facility in Ogden, Utah, is a human-grade, Kosher (KOF-K) certified spray-drying facility. Albion is prepared for implementation of FDAs good manufacturing practices (GMPs), and has certificates of analysis (C of A) and specification sheets to guide quality control personnel. Albion welcomes audits by its customers and has been audited by leading suppliers in the dietary supplement, food and pharmaceutical industries. The company now offers almost 30 exclusive, scientifically supported mineral products.
With a host of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks and peer-reviewed published research, Albion has positioned itself as the expert in the field of amino acid mineral chelation. It continues to set the standard for companies seeking quality, efficacious mineral amino acid chelates.
