Magnesium glycinate, with the chemical formula of Mg(C2H4NO2)2·H2O, is a white crystalline powder or granule, odorless, slightly soluble in water, with a molecular weight of 190.44 and a theoretical magnesium content of about 12.6%.
At present, magnesium supplement foods, preparations, and drugs used by humans are mainly inorganic salts and organic salts, which are not easy to absorb, and contain a large amount of anions that also have adverse reactions to the human body.
Magnesium glycinate is a new type of nutritional magnesium supplement, a chelate with a ring structure formed by magnesium and glycine, and belongs to the third generation of magnesium enhancers. Magnesium glycinate is mild to the stomach and intestines, and its bioabsorption rate is higher than that of organic acid salts. It can also complex harmful metal elements in the body and quickly excrete them to mask metal ions.
Moreover, magnesium glycinate has no catharsis effect. If magnesium citrate is taken, it will cause diarrhea, and magnesium glycinate is a good substitute. It can be widely used in food, beverages, dairy products, flour, nutrient solution and other fields.
Microencapsulation is the process of coating these granules with a protective layer, which enhances their solubility, stability, and ease of incorporation into different product formats like instant powders and liquid supplements.
