Description

Copper Glycinate is a high-purity, bioavailable chelated complex of copper and the amino acid glycine. This specialized form is crucial for applications requiring superior stability, solubility, and bioavailability compared to inorganic copper salts. It serves as an essential mineral source for the nutritional supplement, animal feed, and pharmaceutical industries, where precise mineral delivery and compatibility are paramount.

Application

• Nutritional Supplements & Fortified Foods: As a highly bioavailable source of copper in dietary supplements, vitamin-mineral premixes, and functional food and beverage products.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: An effective trace mineral additive in premixes for livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and pet food to support metabolic functions, immune health, and coat pigmentation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical compounds and as an active ingredient in mineral supplement formulations.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant properties and role in enzymatic processes related to skin health.
• Agricultural & Horticultural Products: As a component in specialty fertilizers and plant growth supplements to correct copper deficiencies in crops.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key reagent and standard in biochemical, nutritional, and pharmaceutical research laboratories.
