Aluminum Glycinate  (Synonyms: Dihydroxyaluminum Aminoacetate)

Aluminum Glycinate (Dihydroxyaluminum Aminoacetate) is an organo-metallic compound and an antacid. Aluminum Glycinate can be used for the research of indigestion, acid reflux and ulcers^[1].

Aluminum Glycinate releases aluminum ions in gastric juice, reacts with phosphate in the intestine to form insoluble aluminum phosphate, thereby reducing phosphate absorption. Aluminum Glycinate exhibits a rapid and lasting buffering effect, maintains the pH value in the stomach within the range of 3.5-4.5, and prevents gastric acid from damaging the gastric mucosa. The antacid activity of Aluminum Glycinate is not affected by pepsin^[2][3].
