Magnesium aspartate
Description
Magnesium aspartate (CAS 2068-80-6) is an amino acid-chelated magnesium salt used across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications as a bioavailable source of magnesium.
Its chelated form supports superior gastrointestinal tolerance compared to inorganic magnesium salts, making it a preferred choice for supplement formulators seeking high-absorption mineral delivery.
In dietary supplements and functional foods, magnesium aspartate is formulated into tablets, capsules, and powdered drink mixes targeting magnesium repletion for various consumer health needs.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an active ingredient in electrolyte preparations and prescription magnesium therapy products. It is highly valued for its stability and consistent performance.
Food and beverage producers incorporate it as a mineral fortifier in functional drinks and nutritional products where clean-label mineral sources are required for modern health-conscious markets.
In personal care formulations, it functions as a humectant and pH buffer in skin-conditioning products and topical preparations, providing versatile benefits beyond simple oral supplementation.
Magnesium aspartate is supplied as a white crystalline powder. It is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with USP and Ph.Eur. grades commonly sourced.
Bulk quantities are typically offered in fiber drums or multi-layer bags suited to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing environments, ensuring product integrity during transport and storage.
