Description

Potassium Glycerophosphate is an organophosphorus compound that serves as a highly bioavailable source of both potassium and phosphorus. This dual functionality makes it a critical ingredient for formulating nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical preparations where mineral supplementation is required. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and high-end food fortification industries seeking a soluble and well-tolerated mineral source.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: As a key active ingredient in mineral supplements, electrolyte drinks, and multivitamin formulations to support bone health, muscle function, and cellular energy metabolism.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used in parenteral and oral solutions where bioavailable potassium and phosphate replenishment is medically indicated.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into functional foods, sports nutrition products, and medical nutrition (enteral feeds) for targeted mineral enrichment.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent and buffering ingredient in certain high-end skincare and haircare formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a reagent or substrate in enzymatic studies and biochemical research protocols.

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