Magnesium lactate

CAS: 18917-93-6

Overview

Magnesium lactate (CAS 18917-93-6 ), also marketed as Promagsan and approved as food additive E329 , is a mineral salt used to deliver bioavailable magnesium across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications.

It functions as an acidity regulator, stabilizer, and mineral fortification source in finished formulations. In food and beverage manufacturing, it regulates acidity and stabilizes texture in products such as sports drinks.

It is used in fortified waters and processed foods where magnesium supplementation is a label claim. Dietary supplement manufacturers use it as a preferred magnesium source in tablets and capsules due to its high tolerability.

In pharmaceutical formulations, it serves as both an active mineral ingredient and an excipient contributing buffering capacity. Personal care and cosmetic formulators incorporate it into skin-conditioning products.

It is also used in mineral-based topical preparations targeting electrolyte balance. Magnesium lactate is supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules for various industrial and commercial manufacturing needs.

Food-grade and USP pharmaceutical-grade specifications are the most commonly traded. FCC grade material is also available for North American food and supplement markets to ensure high quality standards.

Bulk quantities are typically offered in 25 kg bags for industrial use. Documentation packages cover COA, MSDS, and relevant regulatory compliance for food and pharma supply chains to meet global requirements.
