A sourcing reference for Magnesium Glycinate, with a Food & Feed Raw Materials focus
A lot of buyers assume Magnesium Glycinate (CAS 14783-68-7) is a buy-and-it-works item. In Food & Feed Raw Materials it almost never is. The compatibility rhythm and dosing usually decide the final result, so this page unpacks exactly those pieces.
The role it plays in Food & Feed Raw Materials
Before jumping to conclusions —In Food & Feed Raw Materials, the first split for Magnesium Glycinate (CAS 14783-68-7) is 'industrial grade' vs 'food / feed grade' — they are not interchangeable. Food and feed grades carry stricter statutory limits on heavy metals, arsenic, microbes and residues, usually backed by corresponding licences and test reports. Regulatory grade and traceability come before the assay figure. Comparable grades:
- Magnesium Glycerophosphate (CAS 927-20-8):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Citrate Nonahydrate (CAS 153531-96-5):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Citrate Anhydrous (CAS 3344-18-1):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium L-Threonate (CAS 778571-57-6):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Gluconate (CAS 59625-89-7):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Gluconate Granules (CAS 3632-91-5):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Lactate (CAS 18917-93-6):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Magnesium Orotate (CAS 34717-03-8):a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
Thinking through the choice
The one I weigh most: Confirm the required grade (food / feed / industrial) — never substitute industrial for food or feed use.
Request and verify test reports for heavy metals, arsenic, microbes and residual solvents against the applicable standard or customer spec.
Mind moisture-proof, contamination-free packaging and transport to avoid drift on arrival.
Retain samples of critical lots and keep incoming-inspection records for traceability and retest.
Its typical specs: name Magnesium Glycinate, CAS 14783-68-7, formula C4H8MgN2O4, MW 172.03 g/mol, standard purity per batch COA, packaging confirmed per order, storage keep sealed in a cool, dry place. Final values follow the batch COA and order confirmation.
Where most cases go wrong
Using industrial grade in place of food / feed grade: statutory limits differ and mixing them triggers compliance and safety risk.
Watching assay but ignoring traceability: without the correct grade's test report, even high purity cannot enter the food / feed chain.
Loose storage and transport: moisture or cross-contamination can make a compliant lot fail on arrival.
Questions we often get
Where is Magnesium Glycinate used in Food & Feed Raw Materials?
As a common raw material it serves nutritional fortification, stabilisation or process aid; the exact use depends on the finished product and regulatory grade.
Which grade and documents should I confirm when sourcing Magnesium Glycinate?
State food / feed grade requirements and verify safety indicators (heavy metals, microbes) test reports against the applicable standard or customer spec.
Can industrial grade be used as food / feed grade?
No. Products here are supplied for industrial and research use; food or feed use requires the correct grade with full compliance documentation.
