Description

Manganese Lactate CAS NO 51877-53-3 is an essential organic salt of manganese, valued for its superior bioavailability and solubility compared to inorganic manganese sources. This compound is critical for ensuring proper manganese supplementation, which is a vital micronutrient in numerous biological and industrial processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food fortification, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries for its efficacy and compatibility.

Application

• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a nutritional additive in dietary supplements, infant formula, and fortified foods to prevent manganese deficiency.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Serves as an active ingredient or excipient in mineral supplements and therapeutic formulations.
• Animal Feed Premix: An essential trace mineral source in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed to support bone development, reproduction, and enzyme function.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare products for its potential role as a skin-conditioning agent and enzyme cofactor.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in cell culture media and as a reagent in laboratory studies of enzymatic processes.
• Industrial Catalysts: Acts as a precursor or component in certain catalytic systems for organic synthesis.
