Copper Bisglycinate CAS 13479-54-4 | Stable Chelated Copper Trace Mineral Raw Material

What is Copper Bisglycinate

Copper Bisglycinate is a high-quality amino acid chelated trace copper material with CAS number 13479-54-4. Synthesized through professional glycine chelation technology, it differs greatly from traditional inorganic copper sources such as copper sulfate.

Featuring a stable molecular chelated structure, Copper Bisglycinate provides better formula compatibility, consistent physical and chemical performance, and milder characteristics. It has become a preferred replacement for inorganic copper salts and is widely adopted in global food, feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fine chemical industries.

 Physical and Chemical Properties & Stability

Copper Bisglycinate appears as fine, uniform blue powder with good fluidity. It resists moisture absorption and caking, supporting long-term storage and automated industrial mass production.

The product exhibits excellent thermal stability:

– Dehydration Temperature: 130°C
– Decomposition Temperature: 228°C

Within regular industrial processing temperatures including drying, granulation, tableting and liquid blending, Copper Bisglycinate maintains stable composition, consistent color and no decomposition. It delivers outstanding batch-to-batch uniformity for large-scale manufacturing.

Core Advantages of Copper Bisglycinate Over Inorganic Copper

Stable Chelated Structure Reduces Formula Antagonism

Common inorganic copper salts are easily affected by acid-base environments, phytic acid and other mineral ingredients, resulting in precipitation, instability and low utilization rate.

Copper Bisglycinate encapsulates copper ions with glycine molecules through chelation bonding. This stable structure effectively reduces antagonistic reactions with other components, ensuring higher stability in complex nutritional and feed formulas.

Excellent Dispersion and Wide Formula Compatibility

Copper Bisglycinate shows balanced water solubility and superior powder dispersion. It is fully compatible with multiple production processes, including powder blending, solid beverages, tablet pressing, capsule formulation, feed premix granulation and cosmetic liquid systems, matching most automated production lines worldwide.

Mild Properties and Higher Safety Profile

Within standard dosage ranges, chelated Copper Bisglycinate delivers lower irritation compared with inorganic copper. It is highly suitable for long-term addition formulas, young animal feed and human nutritional fortification products, improving end-product safety and stability.

Multi-industry Compliance Simplifies Global Procurement

One single raw material covers six mainstream application fields: food fortification, dietary supplements, animal feed additives, pharmaceutical intermediates, cosmetic ingredients and electroplating industrial materials. It complies with international additive standards and helps global buyers simplify supply chain categories.

Main Compliant Application Fields

Food and Dietary Supplement Industry

Copper is an essential trace mineral for human physiological metabolism. As a compliant food-grade mineral fortifier, Copper Bisglycinate is widely used in multivitamin mineral formulas, functional foods, nutritional powders and supplement tablets for daily copper element supplementation.

Animal Feed and Aquaculture Industry

Feed-grade Copper Bisglycinate is a premium chelated copper additive globally recognized in livestock and aquaculture farming. It supports normal metabolic functions in poultry, livestock and aquatic animals and optimizes feed utilization efficiency in modern farming formulas.

Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industry

High-purity Copper Bisglycinate features low impurity content and stable batch quality. It serves as a reliable pharmaceutical intermediate for nutritional pharmaceutical formulations and fine chemical synthesis.

Cosmetic and Electroplating Industry

Copper Bisglycinate can be applied in skincare and cosmetic formula blending. It also acts as a high-standard copper-containing raw material for industrial electroplating processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between Copper Bisglycinate and Copper Sulfate?
