1. A compound of Formula III having an amino acid component, which consists of two amino acids coordinated around a divalent metal cation, a metal component, which consists of a divalent metal cation, and a counter-ion component, which consists of one or two additional molecules, A and B, ionically bound to the amino acid component, wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is a side chain of an amino acid coordinated around X; X1 and X2 are H; X is selected from magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), or Zinc (Zn2+) as the metal component; A and B are each an omega-3 fatty acid, A and B are the same or different, and B is present or absent; and wherein B is present and A and B are independently selected from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA).
