Magnesium glycinate (Magnesium bisglycinate), the magnesium salt of glycine, is a nutrient supplement. Magnesium glycinate has satisfactory physico-chemical properties and bioactivities. Metal glycinate chelates are formed by glycine and metal compounds through chemical reactions. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in the human body. Magnesium takes part in the process of energy metabolism and assists the maintenance of normal muscle function[1][2].

Calcium glycinate, magnesium glycinate and zinc glycinate are kinds of new-type and ideal nutrient supplements, which have satisfactory physico-chemical properties and bioactivities. They are important for prophylaxis and treat metal deficiency[1].
