Description of Zinc Gluconate
Zinc gluconate, a popular form of zinc supplement, boasts unique physical and chemical properties. Typically appearing as white, odourless crystals or a fine powder, it offers a slight advantage over other zinc salts – it’s not hygroscopic. This means it won’t readily absorb moisture from the air, making it easier to handle and store. Texture-wise, zinc gluconate can range from slightly gritty to smooth depending on the particle size. Scientifically, zinc gluconate is classified as an ionic compound.
It forms when zinc (Zn2+) cations bond with gluconate anions (C6H11O73-). Each zinc ion is linked to two gluconate molecules. This chemical structure offers a gentler delivery of zinc compared to some other forms, potentially reducing stomach upset. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s zinc gluconate.
