Zinc bisglycinate powder [28% Zn]
Zinc bisglycinate is produced by chemical reaction between glycine and Zinc oxide, it consists of a bivalent Zinc ion linked to two molecules of glycine. The zinc metal is bound to the carboxyl group and to the α-amino group of glycine with coordinate covalent bonds. This 1:2 metal to ligand ratio restricts reaction with dietary inhibitors of the metal absorption and prevents the metal from participating in oxidation reactions. This is a white coloured fine crystalline powder.
