Description

Manganese Ascorbate is a stable, bioavailable complex of manganese and ascorbic acid, designed to deliver essential mineral nutrition. This compound is valued for its synergistic antioxidant properties and its role as a source of both manganese and vitamin C in specialized formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food fortification, and animal feed industries seeking to enhance product efficacy and stability.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a key ingredient in multivitamin/mineral complexes, capsules, and tablets to support bone health, antioxidant defense, and enzyme function.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: For enriching health drinks, meal replacement powders, and fortified food products with bioavailable manganese and vitamin C.
• Premixes for Animal Nutrition: Incorporated into feed premixes for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to prevent manganese deficiency and support overall animal wellness and productivity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or active component in the synthesis of specialized medicinal products.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in topical formulations for its potential antioxidant benefits in skin care products.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical research and as a standard in analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Manganese Ascorbate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant standards, including potential FCC or nutraceutical-grade requirements, are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under conditions that minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity to prevent caking or degradation.
