Glycine → Magnesium Glycinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Magnesium glycinate was prepared by reacting 3 g. of basic magnesium carbonate (26.1% Mg) with 5 g. of glycine in 40 g. of H2O, while agitating at 75° C. for one half hour. To the cooled slurry was added 100 g. of 33-1/3% zirconyl hydroxychloride solution (4.4% Zr) with agitation. After 15 minutes of stirring, the solution cleared and had a pH of 3.4. The product was oven-dried at 50° C. under a vacuum of 35 cm. of Hg, and found to contain 2.06% Mg, 36.9% Zr, and 13.1% glycine.
