Introduction
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body, supporting energy production, muscle function, nerve transmission, and bone health. However, magnesium deficiency remains a global concern due to inadequate dietary intake and increased physiological demands.
Magnesium Lactate (CAS: 18917-93-6, E329) is the magnesium salt of lactic acid and a high-performance magnesium supplement. It stands out among magnesium compounds for its excellent water solubility, high bioavailability, and mild taste profile – making it the preferred choice for food fortification, beverages, and dietary supplements.
At Kangyo, we are proud to supply premium-grade Magnesium Lactate to manufacturers worldwide, backed by rigorous quality control and reliable logistics.
Why Choose Magnesium Lactate?
1. Superior Bioavailability
Magnesium Lactate is highly soluble in water and well absorbed in the digestive tract, making it an effective mineral source for nutritional supplementation. Unlike magnesium oxide or carbonate, which can have lower absorption rates, Magnesium Lactate delivers magnesium efficiently to the body.
2. Mild Taste – No Bitterness
Many magnesium salts have a bitter or metallic aftertaste that can compromise the sensory quality of finished products. Magnesium Lactate has a mild, neutral taste, making it ideal for flavour-sensitive applications such as beverages, functional foods, and chewable tablets.
3. Clean-Label Friendly
Magnesium Lactate has a clear and simple ingredient profile, aligning with clean-label trends and consumer demand for recognizable ingredients.
4. Versatile Functionality
Beyond magnesium fortification, Magnesium Lactate also functions as an acidity regulator and dough conditioner, expanding its utility across multiple product categories.
