Frequently Asked Questions
What is magnesium malate used for?
Magnesium malate (CAS 869-06-7) is used as a food- and supplement-grade magnesium source for capsules, tablets, and powder blends, and as a food-fortification ingredient. This grade is supplied as a fine granular powder for uniform metering.
What is magnesium malate made from?
It is the magnesium salt of malic acid, formula C4H4MgO5 (CAS 869-06-7). The malate ligand makes it an organic magnesium source for nutritional and food applications.
What is the difference between magnesium malate and magnesium malate trihydrate?
The trihydrate form incorporates water of crystallization in its structure, which affects magnesium content per unit weight and flow properties. Confirm which hydrate state and magnesium assay applies on the product specification before formulating.
Why is the fine granular grade used in dry blending?
The fine granular form supports uniform metering and consistent distribution when blended into capsule, tablet, and powder formulations. Confirm particle-size and assay values against the Certificate of Analysis for each lot.
What is the HS code and how is bulk magnesium malate supplied?
Magnesium malate classifies under HS 2918.19 (carboxylic acids with alcohol function, their salts; malic acid and its salts). It is supplied as a fine granular powder in bulk; request a bulk quote with CoA and SDS for your target quantity.
