Glycine (Gly), also known as amino acetic acid, is a non-essential amino acid with the chemical formula C2H5NO2. Glycine is the constituent amino acid of endogenous antioxidant reduced glutathione, which is often supplemented by exogenous sources when the body is under severe stress, and is sometimes called semi-essential amino acid. Our Glycine features a purity of over 99%, and is widely applied in food additives, pharmaceutical intermediates, feed nutrition enhancement and other fields.
Premium raw materials and refined craft ensure purity up to 99.5%. Impurities like heavy metals and chlorides are far below industry standards, complying with USP/EP requirements for safe use.
Food grade, pharmaceutical grade, feed grade and industrial grade are in stock; customized specifications are supported.
Monthly capacity 500 tons with adequate inventory. Small trial orders starting from 50kg are welcome, along with bulk orders. Goods can be delivered within 7 to 15 days steadily.
Free samples available, with complete COA, TDS and MSDS documents supplied.

Glycine works as flavor enhancer, stabilizer and antioxidant. It is widely used in soy sauce, vinegar, meat products, beverages and dairy items to improve taste, extend shelf life and restrain microbial growth. It is also applied in formulas of artificial sweeteners and compound seasonings.
Used as pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of amoxicillin, vitamin B6, glutathione and polypeptide medicines, and participates in the construction of drug molecules.
As a feed additive, it serves as a nutritional fortifier for livestock and aquaculture. It supplements amino acids, improves feed utilization rate, boosts growth and strengthens immunity.

Glycine (Gly), also called amino acetic acid, is a non-essential amino acid. Our Glycine product features a high purity level of over 99% (up to 99.5%), conforming strictly to USP/EP requirements with low trace levels of heavy metals and chlorides.
We supply Glycine in food grade, pharmaceutical grade, feed grade, and industrial grade. Custom specifications are supported based on detailed project requirements.
Glycine is multi-functional: it serves as a flavor enhancer, stabilizer, and preservative in the food industry; a critical raw chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis (e.g., for amoxicillin and glutathione); and a nutritional fortifier in feed/agriculture setups.
We accept small trial orders starting from 50kg up to full container bulk orders. With a monthly capacity of 500 tons, our standard delivery timeframe spans between 7 to 15 days.
Smaller quantities (1kg) are packaged in double plastic bags with an aluminum foil bag and box outer protection. Bulk quantities (10kg, 25kg or more) are packed securely using durable drums or cartons containing dual-layer inner plastic bags.
Yes, free samples are available on request, and we supply complete documentation packages including Certificates of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
