Calcium Glycinate is a compound formed by chelating calcium with glycine, an amino acid. It is one of the most bioavailable forms of calcium available in supplement form. Calcium glycinate granules are particularly well-suited for individuals who have difficulty absorbing other calcium salts, such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. This form of calcium is known for its superior absorption and gentler impact on the digestive system, making it ideal for those with sensitivities or digestive issues.
Calcium glycinate granules are calcium glycinate processed by microcrystalline granulation technology. The bulk density is controllable and the tableting effect is good, which is suitable for tablet products.
Our company focuses on the production and research and development of mineral nutritional enhancers. We have been continuously deepening our roots in the industry for 20 years and have advanced production processes and cutting-edge research and development technologies.
Through the selection of raw material origins, production in 100,000-level standardized GMP purification workshops, transparent and traceable.
Our production base has passed ISO9001 quality certification and ISO22000 food safety management system certification. Our company has its own testing laboratory and has passed CNAS accreditation. In 2021, it passed the FSSC22000 system certification, and product quality is guaranteed.
Advantages of Calcium Glycinate Compared to Other Calcium Sources
One of the key advantages of calcium glycinate granules is their high bioavailability. This means that the body can absorb and utilize calcium glycinate more efficiently than many other calcium forms, such as calcium carbonate. The chelation with glycine ensures that the calcium is protected during digestion and is more easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Better Absorption: Calcium glycinate does not rely on stomach acid for absorption, unlike calcium carbonate, which requires sufficient acid levels to break down. This makes calcium glycinate ideal for individuals with low stomach acid, a common issue among older adults.
Calcium glycinate is known to be much gentler on the digestive system compared to other calcium supplements. Calcium carbonate, for example, can cause bloating, gas, or constipation in some people, particularly those with sensitive stomachs. In contrast, calcium glycinate is less likely to cause these gastrointestinal side effects, making it suitable for long-term use.
• Fewer Side Effects: Due to its gentle nature, calcium glycinate is ideal for people who experience discomfort with other calcium forms, allowing for more consistent use without digestive distress.
Unlike some forms of calcium that can interfere with the absorption of other essential nutrients, calcium glycinate has minimal interactions with other vitamins and minerals. This makes it an excellent choice for those who are taking multiple supplements or medications, as it won’t reduce the effectiveness of other nutrients like iron or zinc.
Thanks to its superior absorption, calcium glycinate provides the same or better benefits with lower doses compared to calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. This reduces the overall intake volume while still ensuring optimal calcium levels in the body.
