Description

Calcium Glycinate is a highly bioavailable, chelated form of calcium bound to the amino acid glycine. This compound is valued for its superior absorption and gentle effect on the digestive system compared to other calcium salts. It serves as a critical mineral source for the nutraceutical, food fortification, and pharmaceutical industries, where consistent quality and bioavailability are paramount for product efficacy.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a premium source of bioavailable calcium for bone health, muscle function, and general wellness formulations.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich products like dairy alternatives, cereals, and functional beverages with essential calcium without imparting a chalky taste.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: An active ingredient in calcium deficiency treatments and mineral supplement tablets/capsules.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Premixes): Incorporated into feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support skeletal development and metabolic processes.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in formulations for skin health and oral care products due to its mineral content and compatibility.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Glycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for nutraceutical (FCC) and pharmaceutical applications, with specifications tailored to meet customer requirements. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure traceability and compliance with agreed-upon standards for identity, purity, and safety.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in original packaging or a moisture-proof container to prevent caking and degradation.
