SUSTAR ORGANIC TRACE MINERAL(Glycine Chelate)

ORGANIC TRACE MINERAL

01 Glycine Chelate

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.

Absorption Mechanism
Absorption Mechanism

Dual-Channel Absorption

Complete chelates are taken up intact through amino acid transport pathways, while the released metals enter via dedicated transporters following dissociation at the brush border.

Antagonism Shielding

It effectively blocks antagonistic effects from phytate, oxalate, fiber, and competing minerals in the gut, minimizing precipitation losses.

Superior Bioavailability

Featuring the smallest ligand for the most direct mineral delivery, our chelates provide rapid absorption, maximized utilization, and outstanding feed palatability.

Function & Application
