Zinc glycinate (Cat No.: M061348) is a chelated mineral compound formed by the coordination of zinc with glycine, an amino acid. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to provide a bioavailable form of zinc, supporting immune function, enzymatic activity, and cellular metabolism. The chelation with glycine enhances absorption and minimizes gastrointestinal irritation compared to inorganic zinc salts. Zinc glycinate is also used in food fortification, animal nutrition, and cosmetic formulations due to its stability, solubility, and high bioefficacy in physiological systems.
