Glycine Chelate
Smallest Amino Acid Ligand
Ligand Features
With glycine (MW 75) – the smallest and simplest amino acid – as our chelating ligand, glycine coordinates with trace mineral elements such as Cu, Fe, Zn, and Mn to form stable chelated structures. The compact, electrically neutral ligand delivers the most efficient and direct trace mineral supply for animals.
