Description

Potassium Glycerophosphate is an organophosphorus compound that serves as a highly bioavailable source of both potassium and phosphorus. This dual functionality makes it a critical ingredient in formulations where precise mineral delivery and stability are paramount. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for dietary supplements and electrolyte solutions, as well as in advanced food technology and specialized chemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Used as a key mineral source in electrolyte replacement products, multivitamin/mineral supplements, and parenteral nutrition solutions.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into sports drinks, meal replacement shakes, and health bars to enhance potassium and phosphorus content with good solubility.
• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture Media: Serves as a defined source of essential nutrients in laboratory media and biochemical reagent preparation.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a phosphorus-containing intermediate or catalyst in select organic synthesis processes.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Found in some high-end skincare products for its potential skin-conditioning properties.

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. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and microbiological data is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
