Magnesium Citrate Manufacturer in India | Mediocon Inc.

Magnesium Citrate

Product Overview

Magnesium Citrate is a magnesium salt of citric acid used in nutritional, food, and pharmaceutical applications, depending on the grade and applicable regulations. It provides magnesium in a citrate-associated form and is available in different chemical and hydration forms.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, and maintenance of normal bone health. Magnesium citrate is used in supplement formulations designed to provide dietary magnesium. Certain medicinal formulations are also used as saline laxatives, but intended use depends on the specific product, formulation, and regulatory classification.

Key Product Features

• Product Name: Magnesium Citrate
• Chemical Category: Magnesium salt of citric acid
• CAS Number: Depends on the exact chemical form
• Ingredient Type: Mineral ingredient
• Appearance: Commonly a white or almost-white powder; verify the supplied grade
• Potential Applications: Nutritional supplements, food applications, and pharmaceutical formulations where permitted
• Quality Documentation: Current specification and batch Certificate of Analysis should be reviewed before use

Chemical Information

Magnesium citrate can refer to more than one chemical form. Anhydrous and hydrated forms have different molecular weights and may differ in elemental magnesium content and solubility.

For example, PubChem lists magnesium citrate nonahydrate separately from other magnesium citrate forms. Product identification should therefore include the exact chemical form and applicable CAS number rather than relying on the generic name alone.

Nutritional Applications

Magnesium citrate may be used in mineral supplements, tablets, capsules, powders, and other nutritional formulations. The appropriate amount depends on the elemental magnesium content of the ingredient, the formulation, and applicable nutritional regulations.

The amount of magnesium citrate in a formulation is not the same as the amount of elemental magnesium it provides. Elemental magnesium content should be calculated from the exact ingredient grade and confirmed against its specification.

Pharmaceutical Applications

Certain magnesium citrate formulations are used in medicinal products, including saline laxatives. These uses should not be assumed for every raw-material grade. Pharmaceutical applications require appropriate quality controls, approved specifications, and compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements.

Quality and Specifications

Before purchasing or incorporating Magnesium Citrate into a finished product, confirm:

• Exact chemical form and hydration state
• Identity and applicable CAS number
• Assay and elemental magnesium content
• Appearance and solubility
• Loss on drying or water content
• pH and solution clarity, where specified
• Heavy metals and other relevant elemental impurities
• Microbiological requirements for the intended application
• Applicable compendial or food-grade requirements
• Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and storage conditions

Storage and Handling

Store Magnesium Citrate according to the supplier's approved specification. Keep the material in properly closed packaging and protect it from moisture and contamination. Follow the recommended handling procedures for the intended grade.
