Description

Magnesium Chlorophyllin, 13-98% is a water-soluble, semi-synthetic derivative of chlorophyll where the central magnesium ion is retained. This compound is valued for its stable green colorant properties and potential bioactive benefits, making it a versatile ingredient across multiple regulated industries. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food, dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors for applications ranging from natural coloring to functional health products.

Application

• Natural Food Colorant (Green): Used in beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and pasta to provide a stable green hue, often as an alternative to synthetic dyes like FD&C Green.
• Dietary Supplement & Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into capsules, tablets, and powders for its purported antioxidant and detoxification-support properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Coloring Agent: Employed to color tablets, capsules, and ointments, where a natural, non-toxic pigment is required.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Products: Used in soaps, creams, and lotions for its natural green coloring and potential skin-conditioning benefits.
• Oral Care Products: Added to mouthwashes and toothpastes as a natural coloring agent.
• Diagnostic & Research Reagents: Serves as a biochemical stain or marker in laboratory research and diagnostic kits.
