Description

Magnesium Potassium Aspartate is a chelated mineral complex of magnesium and potassium with the amino acid aspartic acid. This compound is valued for its enhanced bioavailability and stability compared to inorganic mineral salts, making it an effective source of essential electrolytes. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for formulating dietary supplements, electrolyte replacement products, and functional food and beverage fortification.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in magnesium and potassium supplements designed to support muscle function, nerve transmission, and electrolyte balance.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in electrolyte replacement solutions, effervescent tablets, and other medicinal products aimed at correcting mineral deficiencies.
• Sports Nutrition & Functional Beverages: Incorporated into isotonic drinks, recovery powders, and energy gels to replenish electrolytes lost during physical exertion.
• Food Fortification: Employed to enrich various food products, such as cereals, health bars, and meal replacements, with bioavailable magnesium and potassium.
• Veterinary & Animal Nutrition: Used in premixes and feed additives to ensure adequate mineral intake for livestock, pets, and poultry health.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential application in topical formulations for skin care due to the role of magnesium in skin barrier function.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Potassium Aspartate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, potency, and safety. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for assay, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological parameters. Production can be aligned with relevant standards for nutraceutical (FCC, USP-NF) or pharmaceutical (EP) applications upon request.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
