Glycine → Magnesium Glycinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Magnesium glycinate was prepared by reacting 1.8 g. of basic magnesium carbonate (26.1% Mg) with 3 g. of glycine in 30 g. of water, while agitating at 75° C. for one half hour. To the cooled slurry was added 50 g. of zirconyl nitrate solution [ZrO(NO3)2 ; 4.27% Zr] with agitation. The resultant clear solution had a pH of 3.2. The product was oven-dried at 55° C. under a vacuum of 35 cm. of Hg and found to contain 22.8% Zr, 4.79% Mg and 30.6% glycine.
