Magnesium bisglycinate is classified under HS Code 2922.49. This falls under Chapter 29: Organic chemicals, specifically Heading 2922 (Oxygen-function amino-compounds), under subheading: Amino-acids, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their esters; salts thereof, excluding lysine, glutamic acid, anthranalic acid and tilidine, their esters and salts thereof.

Trade activity under HS 2922.49 is broad and not ingredient-specific, so it does not confirm a dedicated magnesium bisglycinate supply chain. The data shows 5,988 suppliers and 30,322 shipments, with China, India, Italy, and Japan leading in supplier counts and shipment volumes. This suggests a large, active market for amino-acid-related chemicals, but the presence of unrelated sectors (e.g., automotive, logistics) indicates the classification captures diverse trade flows. For formulation planning, this means the signal is too noisy to infer magnesium bisglycinate availability or pricing trends. Further supplier-level verification is needed to identify actual producers of this chelate.
HS 2922.49 covers 'Other' oxygen-function amino-compounds, specifically amino-acids (excluding lysine, glutamic acid, anthranilic acid, and tilidine) and their esters and salts. This scope is broad, encompassing many amino-acid derivatives and salts, not just magnesium bisglycinate. The classification does not distinguish between different amino-acid chelates or salts, so trade data under this code cannot isolate magnesium bisglycinate shipments. For regulatory or sourcing decisions, this means the HS code provides only a general category for amino-acid compounds, and any supplier or shipment evidence must be treated as potentially unrelated to the target ingredient.

The supplier landscape appears highly fragmented, with 5,988 suppliers across 113 countries, but a few large players dominate shipment counts. For example, Divis Laboratories (India) has 433 shipments, Nouryon Functional Chemicals (Sweden) has 310, and Avid Organics (India) has 290. This mix of large chemical manufacturers and many smaller entities suggests a diversified but not concentrated market. However, since the HS code includes many unrelated products, this structure does not reflect magnesium bisglycinate specifically. For procurement, this means the market may offer multiple potential sources, but due diligence is required to identify which suppliers actually produce the chelate.
Key supply risks include the lack of ingredient-specific shipment evidence, making it impossible to confirm which suppliers actually handle magnesium bisglycinate. The HS code's broad scope means many listed suppliers operate in unrelated sectors, such as automotive or logistics, creating noise. Additionally, some high-volume suppliers (e.g., Ajinomoto, Kyowa Hakko) are known for amino acids, but their involvement with this specific chelate is unverified. Further diligence should focus on direct supplier outreach, certifications, and product specifications to confirm manufacturing capability and avoid reliance on misclassified trade data.
China, India, Italy, and Japan are the most prominent sourcing geographies by supplier count and shipment volume, with China alone accounting for 1,986 suppliers and 7,816 shipments. Other notable lanes include Belgium, Vietnam, South Korea, and Germany. However, because the HS code covers a wide range of amino-acid compounds, these geographies may not be specific to magnesium bisglycinate. For supply chain planning, this suggests that if sourcing magnesium bisglycinate, these regions are likely starting points, but direct supplier verification is essential to confirm actual production and export of the chelate.
