Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid (CAS 68917-51-1) is an organic mineral complex utilized as a highly bioavailable nutrient source in animal feed additives and dietary supplements. Chemically recognized as a Magnesium proteinate or amino acid complex, this powder functions to deliver stable magnesium ions across biological membranes without the digestive interference common to inorganic salts. As a specialized Organometallic chelate, it is integrated into livestock nutrition and functional food formulations to support metabolic enzyme activity and muscle function. We ensure bulk supply capabilities for this material, providing access to competitive factory pricing and customized specifications to meet specific metal content requirements. Full technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is available to support compliance and safety protocols.

Product Description
Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid appears as a light yellow to white powder. It is produced by reacting soluble magnesium salts with hydrolyzed amino acids derived from non-GMO plant sources (such as soy or corn). This process creates a stable heterocyclic structure where the magnesium is “clawed” by the amino acids.
Key features include:
- High Stability: The amino acid shell protects magnesium from antagonistic interactions with phosphates or sulfates in the soil or digestive tract.
- Rapid Absorption: Plants and animals absorb amino acids actively; the magnesium “hitchhikes” into the cell, resulting in absorption rates significantly higher than Magnesium Sulfate or Magnesium Oxide.
- Photosynthesis Booster: Magnesium is the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule. Our product effectively cures “Yellow Leaf Disease” caused by Mg deficiency.
- Full Solubility: 100% water-soluble, making it ideal for foliar sprays, drip irrigation, and liquid feed supplements.
