Description

Magnesium Bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable chelated form of magnesium, where magnesium is bound to two glycine molecules. This chelation enhances mineral stability and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, making it a superior source of elemental magnesium. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-quality dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical preparations where optimal bioavailability and gentle tolerability are critical. The product, identified by CAS number 14783-68-7, meets stringent quality standards for these demanding applications.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a premium source of magnesium in capsules, tablets, and powder blends for supporting bone health, muscle function, and nervous system regulation.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: For enriching products like sports nutrition powders, meal replacements, and health drinks due to its good solubility and neutral taste.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used in mineral supplement formulations and medical nutrition products where high purity and proven bioavailability are required.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Grade): Incorporated into premixes for livestock and pet food to support animal growth, metabolism, and overall wellness.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in skincare products for its skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Bisglycinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity specifications relevant for food, supplement, and pharmaceutical applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail assay, heavy metal content, and microbiological limits. Compliance with relevant standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) guidelines is assured for applicable grades.

Storage

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