2. What Is Magnesium Glycinate?
Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium where magnesium ions are bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelation structure enhances chemical stability, solubility, and formulation compatibility, making it a preferred magnesium source in advanced supplement formulations.
Unlike inorganic magnesium salts, Magnesium Glycinate is commonly selected for high-end nutritional formulations due to its neutral sensory profile, low hygroscopicity, and suitability for capsules, tablets, powders, and premix systems.
From a manufacturing and procurement perspective, Magnesium Glycinate is classified as a functional mineral ingredient rather than a pharmaceutical active, and is widely accepted under dietary supplement regulations in major markets.
