  • Applications

    Magnesium glutamate is used primarily as a magnesium source in nutritional products and dietary supplements, and can serve as an excipient or buffering component in pharmaceutical formulations. It is also employed as a mineral feed additive in animal nutrition to supply magnesium alongside glutamate, and may function as a chemical intermediate or chelating/stabilizing agent in industrial formulations. In agricultural contexts it may be evaluated as a magnesium-containing fertilizer or micronutrient source, while its potential use in cosmetics and personal care is formulation-dependent.
