Zinc Glycinate (Amino Acid Chelate)
Zinc Glycinate is a high-efficiency zinc supplement belonging to the third generation of mineral nutrients. Produced through advanced amino acid chelation technology, it bonds a zinc ion with two glycine molecules, creating a stable ring structure. This unique molecular form ensures maximum absorption and superior bioavailability compared to traditional inorganic zinc salts.
