Description

Zinc L-Lactate is a vital organic zinc salt that serves as a highly bioavailable source of zinc, an essential trace mineral. This compound is particularly valued for its superior solubility and absorption profile compared to inorganic zinc salts, making it an effective nutritional and functional ingredient. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries for fortification and formulation needs.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a bioavailable zinc source in capsules, tablets, and liquid formulations to support immune function, metabolism, and overall wellness.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into functional foods, cereals, dairy products, and beverages to enhance their nutritional value and meet daily zinc requirements.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in medicinal products, including lozenges and syrups.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare formulations such as creams and lotions for its potential anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Additives): Applied in premixes and feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to promote growth, health, and reproduction.
• Technical & Industrial Uses: Serves in niche applications as a catalyst or a stabilizing agent in certain chemical synthesis processes.

Quality Control

Our Zinc L-Lactate is produced under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications, with specifications that can meet FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and other relevant industry standards. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
