Description

Zinc Glutamate is a coordination compound formed from zinc and the amino acid glutamic acid, known by the CAS registry number 1949-15-1. This compound is valued for its role as a stable and bioavailable source of zinc, an essential micronutrient, and glutamic acid, a key neurotransmitter precursor. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food fortification industries for formulating dietary supplements and functional foods.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: Used as a key ingredient in zinc supplements, multivitamin/mineral formulations, and immune support products due to its bioavailability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a precursor or active ingredient in certain pharmaceutical preparations requiring zinc or glutamate moieties.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed to fortify foods and beverages, such as cereals, health drinks, and meal replacements, to address nutritional deficiencies.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential skin-soothing and astringent properties.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Additives): Used in premixes for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed to promote growth, health, and proper metabolic function.
• Research & Development: Utilized in biochemical and nutritional research as a standard or reagent.
