Application of Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Citrate has unique applications across several fields. In the healthcare supplement industry, it is a key ingredient in oral magnesium supplements, as its high bioavailability allows for efficient absorption by the human body, addressing magnesium deficiency more effectively than some other magnesium salts.
In the functional beverage sector, it is added to sports drinks and wellness beverages, not only providing a mineral boost but also helping regulate the drink’s acidity to improve taste, a role that leverages its dual properties as a mineral source and acidity adjuster.
Within pharmaceutical formulations, it is used in certain laxative preparations, where its specific chemical structure enables it to draw water into the intestines, promoting bowel movements— a function distinct from its nutritional role in other products.
Purity
The purity of our Magnesium Citrate is consistently ≥99%, meeting pharmaceutical and food-grade standards. This high purity ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications like dietary supplements and pharmaceutical formulations, where even trace contaminants could compromise efficacy or safety.
Appearance
It presents as a white, odorless crystalline powder. This uniform appearance simplifies visual inspection during production, ensuring consistency in blending with other ingredients—critical for manufacturers aiming to maintain product uniformity in supplements or functional beverages.
Solubility
Easily soluble in water (≥15g/100mL at 20°C), it dissolves quickly without leaving residues. This property is vital for liquid products such as sports drinks and oral solutions, where smooth texture and rapid dispersion are key to consumer acceptance.
pH Value
A 1% aqueous solution typically has a pH of 5.0–7.0, making it mild and compatible with a wide range of formulations. This neutral-to-slightly-acidic range prevents unwanted interactions with other ingredients, stabilizing products like pet nutrition supplements and laxative preparations.
Heavy Metal Limits
Complies with strict heavy metal standards, with lead (Pb) ≤0.1ppm, arsenic (As) ≤0.05ppm, and mercury (Hg) ≤0.01ppm. These low limits align with global regulatory requirements, reassuring distributors and manufacturers of its safety for human and animal consumption.
These specifications are tailored to support bulk production needs, ensuring our Magnesium Citrate integrates seamlessly into diverse industrial processes—from large-scale supplement manufacturing to specialized pharmaceutical blending.
