Description

Zinc Glycinate CAS NO 7214-08-6 is a highly bioavailable organic zinc complex formed by the chelation of zinc with the amino acid glycine. This molecular structure is critical for enhancing mineral absorption and stability, making it a superior source of zinc compared to inorganic salts. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the human and animal nutrition sectors seeking to fortify products with a well-tolerated and effective mineral source.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used in capsules, tablets, and powdered blends as a premium, highly absorbable source of zinc to support immune function, skin health, and metabolic processes.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into meal replacement shakes, nutrition bars, and fortified beverages due to its good solubility and minimal impact on flavor and product matrix.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition Premixes: Serves as a vital trace mineral in feed for livestock, poultry, and companion animals to promote growth, reproduction, and overall health.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in certain OTC and prescription medicinal products where enhanced zinc bioavailability is required.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in topical formulations like creams and ointments for its skin-healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
