Magnesium malate
Description
Magnesium malate (CAS 869-06-7), also supplied as magnesium DL-malate, is an inorganic-organic mineral salt combining magnesium with malic acid. It functions as a bioavailable magnesium source and acidulant in food and pharmaceutical applications.
In dietary supplements and functional foods, it serves as a preferred magnesium form where high gastrointestinal tolerability and absorption efficiency are formulation priorities. This makes it ideal for high-end nutraceuticals.
Beverage and sports nutrition manufacturers use it to combine electrolyte replenishment with mild tartness without the laxative threshold associated with magnesium oxide. It provides a clean flavor profile for liquid formulations.
Pharmaceutical tablet and capsule producers incorporate it as an active mineral ingredient in magnesium supplementation products. This is particularly useful where clean-label or organic-acid-bound mineral forms are specified.
In agricultural and feed applications, it is used to correct magnesium deficiencies in soil amendments and mineral feed premixes. Its solubility ensures effective delivery of essential minerals to crops and livestock.
Magnesium malate is supplied as a white crystalline powder. USP-grade specifications are the most commonly sourced, with FCC-grade material available for food and beverage manufacturing requirements.
Bulk supply is standard in kilogram and metric-ton quantities, with packaging options suited to both compounding-scale and industrial procurement volumes. We ensure consistent quality for all global shipping needs.
