Zinc aspartate

Zinc aspartate (CAS 36393-20-1) is an amino acid-chelated zinc mineral where zinc is coordinated with aspartic acid, delivering higher bioavailability than inorganic zinc salts.

It is used across food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing as a zinc fortification ingredient and dietary supplement active in various industrial applications.

In dietary supplement manufacturing, it is used as the active mineral source in tablets, capsules, and powdered blends where enhanced absorption profiles justify a premium chelated form.

Food and beverage producers incorporate it into functional foods and fortified products where zinc labeling claims are required without the metallic off-notes associated with inorganic sources.

Animal nutrition formulators use it in feed premixes and mineral supplements for livestock and companion animals, where organic zinc forms support hoof integrity and coat condition.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers select it for zinc-containing preparations where controlled mineral delivery and formulation compatibility with other amino acid-based actives are required.

The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. Pharmaceutical-grade material is available to USP or BP standards from select global manufacturers.

Bulk quantities are typically offered in kilogram to metric-ton packaging to serve both industrial formulators and contract manufacturers requiring consistent mineral quality.
