calcium.magnesium copper and zinc glycine edible nano complexes:synthesis and characterization

Nano metal glycinates consist of a bivalent metal ion (M+2) linked to two molecules of glycine through chemical reactions. The metal is bound to the carboxyl group and to the α-amino group of glycine with coordinate covalent bonds to form two heterocyclic rings. In the structural formula, ‘M’, represents the ions Copper (II), Zinc (II), Calcium (II) or Magnesium (II).These nano complexes are kinds of new-type and ideal nutrient supplements for human and animals, which have satisfactory physiochemical properties and bioactivities. They are important for prophylaxis and treat metal deficiency. Nano amino acid chelates are a better absorbent in compare to the other mineral resources. These are the raw materials of great quantity of health care products
