Copper Glycinate

Product Properties
Blue powder, slightly soluble in water. It loses crystal water at 123 °C, carbonizes at 213 °C, decomposes and releases gas at 228°C.
Product Features
- A new type of copper supplement, copper glycinate is a chelate with a cyclic structure formed by copper element and glycine. Copper ions are located in the center of the five-membered ring chelate and does not exist in the form of free copper ions, which reduces the antagonism between elements and thus improves the utilization of copper.
- Among many amino acids, glycine is the amino acid with the smallest molecular weight. The chelate formed by its reaction with copper element also has the smallest molecular weight, and can be better absorbed and utilized by the human body. It can play the dual role of supplementing copper and glycine.
- The copper glycinate produced by Donghua Jinlong has high purity, no anion interference, and no organic solvent residue. lt has the advantages of easy absorption, high bioavailability and good stability.
Usage
- Widely used in food, medicine, health care products and other industries.
- lt can be made into granules, tablets, capsules, oral liquid and other health care products.
