Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid CAS 14783-68-7

What Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid Is

Chelated magnesium amino acid is magnesium bisglycinate (C₄H₈MgN₂O₄), each magnesium ion bound to two glycine molecules in a ring, sold as a white to off-white powder. It disperses in water and reaches the gut wrapped in glycine, so it is gentler than oxide or sulfate and avoids loose dung from sulfate. Lots come pure or buffered with magnesium oxide, and magnesium content is stated on the COA. UATChem supplies food, supplement and feed grades.

Supplement, Food and Feed Uses

• Dietary supplements. The magnesium used in tablets, capsules and powders aimed at everyday magnesium support, chosen for its gentle profile.
• Functional food and sports nutrition. Added to solid drinks, fortified foods and sports nutrition blends that need a mild, water dispersible magnesium.
• Livestock and aquaculture premix. An organic trace magnesium for swine and poultry premix to support steady intake, stress periods and growth, with use in fish and shrimp diets as well.
• Pet food. Included in premium dog and cat diets where the chelated form suits sensitive digestion.

The chelate is built from glycine; UATChem also supplies glycine powder for buyers preparing their own mineral chelates.

Typical Specifications

Food, supplement and feed grades differ in magnesium content, chelation and particle size, reported on the COA for each lot; the table below identifies the material.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Packed in 25 kg woven bags and fibre drums, with aluminium foil sample bags for trials; keep packs sealed, cool and dry, as the powder picks up moisture and can cake if left open.
• Food, supplement and feed grades follow local food additive and feed rules, and every lot ships with COA, TDS and SDS covering magnesium content, chelation and particle size; samples and trial orders are supported.
• For a quote, UATChem needs the grade, target magnesium level, quantity, packing and destination port.

FAQ

Q: Why choose chelated magnesium amino acid over magnesium sulfate or oxide?

A: It rides in with glycine, so less is lost to calcium or phytic acid, it is gentler on the gut and it avoids loose dung.

Q: How do buyers confirm the magnesium in chelated magnesium amino acid?

A: Pure and buffered chelates differ in magnesium level, so UATChem states tested content and chelation on each lot COA.

Q: Which chelated magnesium amino acid grade do supplement and feed buyers use?

A: Tablets, capsules and powders use food or supplement grade; premix, aquaculture and pet food use feed grade, shown on the COA.
