Quality Control

Our Magnesium Lactate Dihydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer grades compliant with relevant industry standards, including Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and pharmaceutical monographs. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and safety. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, heavy metals, microbial limits, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
