Glycinate calcium is a chelated form of calcium, where the mineral is bound to two molecules of glycine, a non-essential amino acid.
Glycinate calcium is primarily used as a dietary supplement to support bone health and prevent osteoporosis. It is also used to fortify processed foods and beverages, such as dairy products, soy milk, and energy drinks. Glycinate calcium is often used in combination with other minerals, such as magnesium and zinc, to create multivitamin supplements.
