MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE

MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE

Product Name: Magnesium Glycinate

HS Code: 2922499990

Packaging: 25kg Carton or Customized package;

Magnesium Glycinate, as an organic magnesium source with high bioavailability, is mainly used as a nutritional fortifier in the food industry to supplement the body's required magnesium element. Compared to inorganic magnesium sources like magnesium oxide, its chelated structure makes it gentle on the stomach and easy to absorb, making it particularly suitable for the fortification of daily foods.

 

Application Characteristics & Advantages

Chemically Stable: Magnesium Glycinate is a white crystalline powder, odorless, with good processing tolerance, capable of adapting to conventional processes in food production.

Good Formulation Compatibility: Due to its chelated structure, it rarely has antagonistic reactions with other nutrients. The recommended dosage in formulations is typically controlled between 0.1% - 0.5% (depending on specific regulations).

Formulation Improvement:For instant or liquid products, microencapsulated 

Magnesium Glycinate is available. This form improves the flowability and solubility of the ordinary powder, prevents caking, and is more suitable for refined food formulations.

 

Core Application Areas

Based on its physical properties and stability, Magnesium Glycinate can be widely used in the following food categories:

Dairy Products & Alternatives: Commonly used in modified milk powders (infant formula) , fermented milk (yogurt), lactic acid bacteria beverages, and plant-based milks (such as soy milk) to increase the mineral content of the product.

Beverages: Suitable for solid beverages, fruit juice drinks, functional beverages, and nutrient solutions. To facilitate uniform dispersion in liquids, some manufacturers also process it into a microencapsulated powder form.

Cereals & Baked Goods: Can be added to baked goods such as noodles, bread, and cakes. While improving the texture of flour-based products, it also compensates for the loss of magnesium during grain refining.

Convenience Foods & Snacks: Used in desserts like ice cream, pudding, jelly, as well as for the nutritional fortification of certain candies and pastries.

Foods for Special Dietary Uses: Used as a nutrient supplement in dietary supplements (tablets/capsules) and sports nutrition foods.

 

Conclusion

Leveraging its high absorption rate, low gastrointestinal irritability, and good processing adaptability, Magnesium Glycinate has become an important raw material for achieving "precision nutrition" in the modern food industry. It is widely applicable across multiple fields, from basic dairy products and baked goods to high-end dietary supplements.
