Magnesium malate

Magnesium malate (CAS 869-06-7), also marketed as magnesium DL-malate, is an inorganic-organic mineral salt combining magnesium with malic acid.

Where is Magnesium malate used?

• Food and pharmaceuticals: bioavailable magnesium source and acidulant
• Dietary supplements and functional foods: magnesium form with high gastrointestinal tolerability and absorption efficiency
• Beverages and sports nutrition: electrolyte replenishment with mild tartness, without the laxative threshold of magnesium oxide
• Pharmaceutical tablets and capsules: active mineral ingredient in magnesium supplementation products
• Agriculture and feed: corrects magnesium deficiencies in soil amendments and mineral feed premixes
• Its solubility delivers essential minerals to crops and livestock.

Good to know: Unlike magnesium oxide, it avoids the laxative threshold. USP-grade specifications are the most commonly sourced; FCC-grade material is available for food and beverage manufacturing.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk supply in kilogram and metric-ton quantities
