Glycine
High-Purity Amino Acid Raw Material for Amino Acid Chelated Micronutrient Production
Chelating Agent for Modern Fertilizer Formulations
Glycine is the simplest amino acid and an important functional ingredient widely used in agriculture, nutrition, and specialty formulations.
In crop nutrition, glycine serves as a key raw material for producing amino acid chelated micronutrients, where glycine molecules combine with essential minerals to improve nutrient stability and plant availability.
TerraNutrix supplies high-quality glycine for fertilizer manufacturers, micronutrient producers, OEM formulators, and specialty crop nutrition companies developing amino acid-based nutrient products.
Key Benefits
