Zinc Glycinate

Synonyms: Zinc bisglycinate, Zinc amino acid chelate, Glycine zinc salt, Zinc diglycinate, Zinc glycine complex

Zinc glycinate has become a preferred zinc source in premium dietary supplements and clinical nutrition, driven by its high bioavailability and gentle profile. Unlike inorganic zinc salts, it is well-tolerated and supports immune, skin, and reproductive health without common gastrointestinal side effects.

Zinc glycinate is a chelated mineral complex where zinc is bound to two glycine molecules, forming a stable, neutral complex. This chelation protects the mineral through digestion, allowing efficient absorption via amino acid transporters. It is produced synthetically under strict quality controls to ensure consistent purity and performance.

Available in high-purity grades (≥98%), typically standardized to 20% elemental zinc, our zinc glycinate meets the demands of formulators seeking reliable, bioavailable zinc. It is ideal for tablets, capsules, and functional beverages, offering superior stability and compatibility.

Product Overview & Composition

Zinc glycinate consists of one zinc ion chelated by two glycine ligands. This structure mimics natural mineral-amino acid complexes, enhancing absorption and reducing interactions with other nutrients. The complex is stable under normal storage conditions and does not dissociate easily in the stomach.

With a molecular weight of 213.5 g/mol, it provides 20% elemental zinc by weight. The chelation also masks the metallic taste of zinc, making it suitable for chewables and liquid formulations.

Key Applications

• Immune support: Zinc is essential for immune cell function; glycinate form ensures optimal delivery.
• Skin health: Supports wound healing and acne management with reduced irritation.
• Reproductive health: Vital for testosterone production and prostate health in men.
• Pediatric nutrition: Gentle on the stomach, ideal for children’s supplements.
• Sports nutrition: Helps maintain zinc levels in athletes, supporting recovery and hormone balance.
• Prenatal care: Provides safe zinc supplementation during pregnancy.
