Description

Potassium Glycinate is the potassium salt of the amino acid glycine, offering enhanced solubility and bioavailability. This versatile compound is valued for its role as a highly bioavailable source of both potassium and glycine in nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It serves as a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the dietary supplement, food fortification, and pharmaceutical industries seeking effective mineral chelates.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a bioavailable source of potassium and glycine in mineral chelate supplements, supporting electrolyte balance and metabolic functions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a buffering agent in various medicinal preparations.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed as a nutritional additive to enhance the potassium content of functional foods and health drinks.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent and pH adjuster in formulations like creams and lotions.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a reagent and buffer component in laboratory and microbiological culture media.
• Industrial Processes: Acts as a stabilizing agent or intermediate in certain chemical synthesis and specialty industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Glycinate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
