Magnesium (Lactate, Bisglycinate, Trimagnesium Citrate)

With superior nutritional and technological properties, our magnesium salts are a great choice for enriching food and dietary supplements – supporting health and wellness with proven efficacy. Magnesium bisglycinate is mainly used as a mineral source in food supplements. As a chelated mineral it is preferred in many applications over inorganic sources because of its superior bioavailability and physiological compatibility. Trimagnesium citrates are produced by complete neutralisation of citric acid with a high purity magnesium source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. The two commonly available forms are trimagnesium citrate anhydrous and trimagnesium citrate nonahydrate. In some countries such as USA, trimagnesium citrate is simply denominated magnesium citrate. Monomagnesium citrate is a monobasic salt of citric acid with a molar ratio of 1:1. It is produced by partial neutralisation of citric acid with a high purity magnesium source and subsequent crystallisation. Magnesium lactate dihydrate is produced by complete neutralisation of lactic acid with a high purity magnesium source and subsequent precipitation. Magnesium lactate is mainly used as mineral source in food and beverages, food supplements, foods for particular nutritional purposes, and pharmaceutical preparations. Due to its neutral taste and high solubility, it is the magnesium salt of choice for mineral fortified liquid applications. As an organic mineral, it is preferred over inorganic sources because of its superior bioavailability and physiological compatibility.
