Magnesium Citrate Malate for Food Supplements

Dr. Paul Lohmann® Magnesium Citrate Malate product is a fully reacted mineral approved for dietary supplements and represents a new ingredient. The combination of magnesium with two organic acids, citric acid and malic acid, produces a Mineral Salt with excellent solubility, bioavailability and bioaccessibility. Citric acid and malic acid are part of human metabolism and are therefore easily metabolized. The free-flowing and non-hygroscopic soluble powder forms a clear solution with high stability. Magnesium content is comparable to other organic Magnesium Salts, but demonstrates higher performance in liquid application forms. Comparable products are not stable in solution over shelf life, and some are even insoluble. Its natural taste is more pleasant than other Magnesium sources and can be easily masked. Magnesium Citrate Malate is designed by Dr. Paul Lohmann® for use in ready-to-drink concentrated liquid dietary supplements.

Physiological Functions of Magnesium

Without the vital Magnesium element, living cells cannot perform a wide variety of physiological functions. Magnesium has fundamental importance in virtually all metabolic processes; it is essential for the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems. Throughout life, especially during pregnancy, childhood and old age, it is important to ensure an adequate supply of magnesium. People in these life stages and those with certain conditions have higher magnesium requirements. Magnesium deficiency can lead to various disorders such as cardiac arrhythmia, anorexia, lethargy, weakness, agitation, muscle spasms, tremors and muscle cramps. Deficiency can be prevented through the use of dietary supplements. In Europe, the daily magnesium intake for adults is 375 mg according to the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV). Continuous use of magnesium throughout the day is beneficial. Our new Magnesium Salt has obtained the necessary approvals for enrichment of dietary supplements in Europe under Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/418 amending Directive 2002/46/EC on dietary supplements.
