The present invention includes amino sugar chelates and methods for preparing amino sugar chelates of the formula given below, where M is a metal; R<SUB>2 </SUB>and R<SUB>3 </SUB>are independently selected from H, OH and hydroxyl substituted C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>8 </SUB>alkyl; R<SUB>4 </SUB>is selected from H, CO<SUB>2</SUB>H, OH, and hydroxyl substituted C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>8 </SUB>alkyl; each R<SUB>5 </SUB>is independently selected from H, OH, and hydroxyl substituted C<SUB>1</SUB>-C<SUB>8 </SUB>alkyl; A is selected from CH and O; a is from 0-6; b is from 0-6; n is from 1 to 8. The amino sugar chelates may include matrix stabilizing salts. The compounds and compositions disclosed can be used as nutritional supplements to impart health benefits.
