Description

(2S)-2-Amino-5-(Diaminomethylideneamino)Pentanoic Acid, 2,3,4,5,6-Pent Ahydroxyhexanoate, Zinc(+2) Cation is a specialized coordination complex that combines the biochemical activity of an arginine derivative with the stability and bioavailability benefits of a zinc cation and a sugar acid counterion. This compound is engineered to serve as a highly bioavailable source of both zinc and specific amino acid functionalities, which are critical in advanced nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and high-end cosmetic industries seeking enhanced mineral delivery systems and stabilized active ingredients.

Application

• As a bioavailable zinc source in premium dietary supplements and mineral fortification blends.
• As a stabilizing agent and active carrier in advanced pharmaceutical formulations, particularly for peptides.
• In cosmetic actives for anti-aging and skin barrier repair products, leveraging the role of zinc and amino acids in skin health.
• As a specialized reagent in biochemical research involving zinc-dependent enzymes and metalloprotein studies.
• In the development of functional food and beverage products requiring improved mineral solubility and taste profile.
• As a potential intermediate or catalyst ligand in fine chemical synthesis for chiral molecules.
