Description

Magnesium-p-Aminobenzoate is an organometallic salt derived from p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), offering enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to its acid form. This compound is valued for its role as a source of bioavailable magnesium and PABA, a component of the folic acid molecule, in specialized nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries seeking a synergistic mineral-vitamin precursor complex.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: Used as a dual-source ingredient providing bioavailable magnesium and PABA in vitamin-mineral complexes, capsules, and tablets.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key starting material or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the synthesis of specialized drugs, particularly those targeting magnesium deficiency or requiring PABA activity.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into high-end skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant properties and as a stabilizer in sunscreen products due to its PABA derivative nature.
• Veterinary Nutrition: Applied in animal feed supplements and veterinary pharmaceuticals to support metabolic functions and overall animal health.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical research and as a standard in analytical laboratories for method development and quality control.
• Industrial Catalysis: Potential use as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in specific organic synthesis reactions due to its unique metallic-organic structure.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium-p-Aminobenzoate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and related substances. Quality standards align with relevant guidelines for pharmaceutical and nutritional ingredients.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
