Gluconates Salts

Gluconate salts are a common mineral availability source in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food preparations due to their accepted bioavailability and solubility. The most common gluconate salt is Zinc Gluconate, which is often used because of its immune support claims, as well as the body absorbing it as a gluconate salt more consistently than other mineral salts. Gluconate salts are approved compounds and are mostly derived from gluconic acid. The gluconates were typically available as a mineral supplement to treat or prevent a mineral deficiency. Gluconates are widely used in many personal care products, veterinary formulations, and in a variety of industrial applications. In food and beverage, gluconates are used mainly for their specific applications associated with acid-regulating properties and fortifying minerals. Gluconates can have good compatibility with many formulations, making them well suited for tablets, capsules, and liquid forms of dosing. Zinc Gluconate, specifically in the functional dosing sector, is primarily associated with enzyme-supporting activity, wound healing effects, and a seemingly overt role in overall immune health. Gluconates offer, as long as you are sourcing from those who reference quality and purity always, a mineral source for manufacturers to improve their products' nutrient profile and performance.
