Application of Magnesium Citrate
Core Identity & Primary Application
Magnesium Citrate is a highly soluble magnesium salt selected for beverage formulations where mineral fortification and acceptable bioavailability are required without excessive precipitation.
Application-Specific Advantages
- Functional Beverages & Sports Drinks
◼ Key Role: Provides a source of magnesium for electrolyte balance and nutritional fortification.
◼ Why Choose: Chosen for better solubility and dispersion compared with less soluble magnesium salts. - Nutritional & Health Drinks
◼ Key Role: Supplies bioavailable magnesium in liquid nutritional products.
◼ Why Choose: Preferred where mineral absorption and formulation clarity are important. - Powdered Beverage Mixes
◼ Key Role: Delivers magnesium content that re-dissolves effectively upon reconstitution.
◼ Why Choose: Selected for consistent solubility and controlled sensory impact versus alternative magnesium sources. - Medical & Supplement Beverages
◼ Key Role: Acts as an active mineral component in oral liquid supplements.
◼ Why Choose: Used for its established regulatory acceptance and predictable behavior in aqueous systems.
