Function
Zinc glycinate provides chelated zinc, which is absorbed via the amino acid transport system.
Its bioavailability is much higher than inorganic zinc salts (such as zinc sulfate and zinc oxide), featuring high absorption efficiency without gastrointestinal irritation.
Zinc glycinate promotes the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, strengthens body immunity and improves resistance against viral and bacterial infections.
It also accelerates wound healing.
Zinc glycinate facilitates children's growth and development, maintains normal reproductive function and stimulates sex hormone synthesis.
It alleviates growth retardation and poor appetite caused by zinc deficiency.
Zinc glycinate participates in collagen synthesis, improves skin conditions such as acne, eczema and dermatitis, boosts skin repair and preserves skin barrier function.
It is a widely adopted raw material in acne conditioning products.
As an integral component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), zinc glycinate enhances the body's antioxidant capacity, reduces free radical damage and delays ageing.
Application
Nutrient fortifier used in infant formula foods, dairy products, cereal products, functional beverages and sports nutrition foods.
Immune regulation supplements, children growth development products, skin health supplements and reproductive health supplements.
Adjuvant therapeutic agent for zinc deficiency, applied for the prevention and treatment of various diseases induced by zinc shortage.
Used as anti-acne and repairing ingredients in skincare products to improve acne and sensitive skin.
