Description

Potassium Glycerophosphate is an organophosphorus compound that serves as a highly bioavailable source of both potassium and phosphorus. This dual-nutrient profile makes it a valuable functional ingredient for applications requiring precise mineral supplementation and metabolic support. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end food fortification industries seeking advanced, soluble mineral forms.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in electrolyte-replenishing solutions, mineral supplements, and intravenous preparations.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in capsules, tablets, and liquid supplements designed to support bone health, energy metabolism, and muscular function.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into sports nutrition products, health drinks, and meal replacements to enhance their mineral content without compromising taste or stability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent and buffering ingredient in high-performance serums, lotions, and creams.
• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture: Utilized in laboratory settings as a component of specialized media and buffers for biological studies.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Employed in mineral premixes and therapeutic formulations for animal health.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Glycerophosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and microbiological limits. Compliance with relevant pharmacopeial monographs (e.g., USP, EP) can be supported upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
