Description of Zinc Aspartate
Zinc Aspartate is a white, odorless powder with a slightly salty taste. It exists in a crystalline form at room temperature and exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. Due to this, it’s often found as a fine powder with a tendency to cake. Chemically, it’s a coordination complex where a zinc ion (Zn²⁺) is bonded to two aspartate anions (C₄H₆NO₄⁻).
These aspartate anions are derived from the amino acid L-aspartic acid. The zinc-aspartate bond strengthens the overall structure and influences its solubility in water. 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 Aspartate.
