Zinc aspartate

Zinc Aspartate (CAS 36393-20-1) is an organic zinc salt formed from zinc and aspartic acid, commercially available under trade names including Oksirich, Unizink 50, Zincas Forte, and Zincas. It carries no assigned E-code and is identified under EC number 253-012-5. The compound delivers bioavailable zinc in a chelated amino acid form.

In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations, Zinc Aspartate serves as a zinc source in oral supplements and tablets, where the aspartate ligand enhances gastrointestinal absorption compared to inorganic zinc salts. In animal feed applications, it functions as a trace mineral supplement supporting enzymatic activity and immune response in livestock at controlled dosage levels.

Zinc Aspartate is supplied as a white to off-white solid in pharmaceutical and food-grade specifications, with compliance relevant to REACH registration requirements for European market supply. Buyers should confirm grade suitability against Ph.Eur. or FCC monographs depending on end-use application. Standard packaging formats include drums and fiber containers.
