Product Overview

Magnesium Sulfate (E518) is a series of inorganic magnesium salts available in Anhydrous, Monohydrate and Heptahydrate grades. As a widely used magnesium fortifier and acidity regulator, it provides reliable magnesium nutrition and stable pH control for food and dietary supplement formulations.

This product series also provides anti-caking and firming properties, widely applied in mineral premixes, solid beverages, tablets, cereal foods and blended powder products.

Character

1.All grades are white crystalline powder or crystals, odorless, with a slightly saline and bitter taste.

2.Readily soluble in water, forming clear magnesium solution, suitable for solid beverages and reconstituted drinks.

3.Reliable magnesium mineral source, providing essential magnesium nutrition for dietary supplements and functional foods.

4.Works as acidity regulator to buffer pH value and balance sour taste in food systems.

5.Good powder flowability and anti-caking performance, preventing powder agglomeration in mineral premixes.

6.Available in three crystal-water grades to match different moisture, hygroscopicity and processing requirements.

7.Good thermal and storage stability under normal food processing conditions.

8.Food grade and pharmaceutical grade comply with international standards for magnesium fortifiers, acidity regulators and anti-caking agents.

Main Functions

1.Magnesium Fortification Function: Reliable magnesium mineral source for nutritional enrichment in food, beverage and dietary supplement formulations, delivering essential magnesium nutrition.

2.pH Adjusting & Buffering Function: Works as acidity regulator to adjust and stabilize pH value in food systems, balancing sour taste and improving formulation stability.

3.Anti-Caking & Flow-promoting Function: Improves powder flowability and prevents powder agglomeration in mineral premixes, blended powder products and tablet formulations.

4.Firming Function: Acts as firming agent to maintain texture stability and water retention in processed solid food systems.

Applications

1.Food & Dietary Supplement Industry

This Magnesium Sulfate series is widely used in dietary supplements, multivitamin and mineral powder premixes, solid beverages, tablets, breakfast cereals and blended powder products.

Heptahydrate – Maximum market dosage Widely used in regular dietary supplement tablets, hard capsules, mineral premixes and ordinary solid beverages. Its stable crystal form, good flowability and cost-effectiveness make it the universal grade for mass production.

Monohydrate Applied in high-humidity processing environments and high-temperature tableting production. Its low hygroscopicity prevents caking and moisture absorption during long-term storage.

Anhydrous Mainly used in moisture-sensitive formulations and high-end nutritional products where strict moisture control is required. Its extremely strong hygroscopicity requires sealed packaging and dry storage.

2.Confectionery & Cereal Food

Suitable for fortified cereals, pressed candies and functional snack powders. It achieves dual effects of magnesium nutrition enhancement and pH regulation without affecting product original flavor and texture.

3.Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharma-grade Magnesium Sulfate (mainly Heptahydrate and Monohydrate) is used in oral magnesium supplements and therapeutic preparations, with limited industrial consumption, not the core business scope.

Packaging & Storage

Packaging: 25kg multi-ply paper bags with inner PE liner; jumbo bags (500kg/1000kg) for bulk shipment; fiber drum packaging available for pharmaceutical-grade products.

Storage Requirements: Store in cool, dry, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from moisture, strong acid substances, direct sunlight and high heat environment. Anhydrous grade requires extra sealed protection due to strong hygroscopicity.

Magnesium sulfate is a magnesium salt having sulfate as the counterion. It has a role as an anticonvulsant, a cardiovascular drug, a calcium channel blocker, an anaesthetic, a tocolytic agent, an anti-arrhythmia drug, an analgesic and a fertilizer. It is a magnesium salt and a metal sulfate.|A small colorless crystal used as an anticonvulsant, a cathartic, and an electrolyte replenisher in the treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. It causes direct inhibition of action potentials in myometrial muscle cells. Excitation and contraction are uncoupled, which decreases the frequency and force of contractions.

-------------------------------------Our Quality------------------------------------

Our Quality

As a professional ingredient supplier, we do not operate manufacturing facilities. Instead, we build robust quality‑assurance workflows across our whole supply chain to safeguard consistent product performance for every shipment

Strict Supplier Due‑Diligence

Before entering any partnership, we carry out on-site factory visits and assess industry reputation, followed by multi-stage qualification reviews. We validate production qualifications, export track records, quality management systems and complete certification packages. New suppliers must pass sample evaluation, and only fully vetted top-tier factories are admitted to our approved supplier pool

Batch‑by‑batch Document Verification

For every order, we cross‑check factory‑issued test documents against agreed specifications including FCC, USP, EP, AJI, CP or your customized requirements. We will not forward documents to customers until key indicators are fully aligned with specifications. This step avoids inconsistent or mismatched documentation common in raw‑material trade.

Independent Third‑party Testing Coordination

Upon client request, we can arrange independent laboratory inspections from recognized third‑party institutions. We manage sample delivery, test protocol communication and report follow‑up to support your market compliance needs.

Quality Closure & Continuous Improvement

We keep traceable records for all delivered batches. If any quality concern arises, we act as your single point‑of‑contact to trace root causes with source factories, drive corrective actions and deliver practical resolution plans. Client feedback is systematically collected to optimize our supplier management and document‑review procedures.

We provide a comprehensive set of compliance documents to support your import and registration work. Our available documentation includes but is not limited to:

★ ISO Certification ★ Halal Certificate

★ Kosher Certificate ★ IP certificate

★ Haccp certificate ★ Allergens with Glutens

★ GRAS Statement ★ HACCP Program
