Product Overview
Magnesium Citrate Malate Powder is a mixed organic magnesium salt containing citrate and malate anions, commonly used in dietary supplements and mineral nutrition formulas.
It is usually supplied as white to off-white powder with defined elemental magnesium content, and buyers often review magnesium level, solubility, assay basis, heavy metals, microbial limits, and documentation scope before technical or commercial evaluation.
It is commonly considered for capsules, tablets, powder blends, sports nutrition, and mineral premixes, with sample supply and batch documentation available for sourcing reference.
Applications
Dietary Supplements
Used in capsules and tablets where an organic magnesium source with citrate and malate positioning is required.
Sports Nutrition
Selected for sports nutrition powders, sachets, and mineral blends positioned around active lifestyle and functional mineral support.
Functional Nutrition Formulas
Used in wellness powders, multi-mineral formulas, and daily nutrition blends where mineral compatibility is important.
Premix Systems
Reviewed for vitamin-mineral premixes where bulk density, flowability, blending uniformity, and segregation risk matter.
How to Choose the Right Grade / Form
Standard Supplement Grade
For tablets and capsules, choose material with defined elemental magnesium content, heavy metal limits, microbial limits, and document support.
Powder Blend Grade
For sachets or sports nutrition blends, review solubility, dispersibility, taste impact, particle size, and compatibility with sweeteners, flavors, and electrolytes.
Premix Grade
For dry premixes, particle size, bulk density, flowability, and blending uniformity should be checked.
Confirm Specification
Compare suppliers based on actual magnesium contribution, citrate-malate composition, dosage form fit, and document scope.
Technical & Formulation Notes
Technical Notes
Magnesium citrate malate should be evaluated by elemental magnesium content and citrate-malate composition rather than product name alone.
For procurement review, buyers should confirm magnesium percentage, assay basis, appearance, solubility or dispersibility, particle size, heavy metals, microbial limits, and destination-market compliance before order confirmation.
Manufacturing & Process
Commercial magnesium citrate malate powder is typically produced through controlled reaction or combination of magnesium source with citric acid and malic acid, followed by drying, milling or sieving, blending control, and packaging.
Batch consistency should be evaluated through elemental magnesium, identity, moisture, particle size, and microbiological testing according to the agreed specification.
Compatibility / Formulation Notes
For capsules and tablets, magnesium citrate malate should be evaluated for bulk density, flowability, compressibility, and excipient compatibility.
For powder blends and sachets, test taste, mouthfeel, dispersion, solubility, and compatibility with flavors, sweeteners, electrolytes, and acids.
For multi-mineral formulas, compatibility with calcium, zinc, iron, manganese, vitamins, and organic acids should be reviewed during pilot testing.
For premix production, particle size distribution and bulk density should be matched with other ingredients to reduce segregation risk.
Extended QC & Test Items
Extended quality review may include appearance, identification, elemental magnesium content, citrate-malate ratio where required, loss on drying, pH, solubility or dispersibility, particle size, heavy metals, lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, total plate count, yeast and mold, E. coli, and Salmonella.

FAQ
1) What is Magnesium Citrate Malate Powder?
Magnesium Citrate Malate Powder is a mixed organic magnesium salt containing magnesium, citrate, and malate components, commonly used in dietary supplements, sports nutrition, and mineral premix formulas.
2) What is the typical magnesium content?
Magnesium citrate malate is commonly reviewed with elemental magnesium content around 12–15%, depending on the composition and manufacturing specification. Buyers should confirm the exact value on the COA.
3) Is magnesium citrate malate suitable for capsules and tablets?
Yes. It can be used in capsule and tablet formulas. Buyers should evaluate bulk density, flowability, compressibility, elemental magnesium content, and excipient compatibility during pilot testing.
4) Can it be used in sports nutrition powders?
Yes. It can be considered for sports nutrition powders, sachets, and mineral blends. Taste, solubility, dispersion, and compatibility with electrolytes and flavors should be tested.
5) How is it different from magnesium citrate or magnesium malate?
Magnesium citrate malate contains citrate and malate components in one magnesium salt system or defined composition, while magnesium citrate and magnesium malate are separate magnesium salts. Buyers should compare elemental magnesium content, composition, solubility, and intended label declaration.
