ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Magnesium Citrate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Magnesium Citrate is an advanced encapsulated mineral ingredient produced using proprietary lipid coating technology that surrounds Magnesium citrate particles with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

The protective coating shields Magnesium citrate from premature interaction with moisture, acids, alkaline ingredients, proteins, vitamins, minerals and other reactive components during processing and storage. The encapsulation system enables controlled release of Magnesium citrate when exposed to specific conditions such as heat, moisture, pH, mechanical shear or digestive processes.

This technology helps manufacturers improve product stability, reduce unwanted ingredient interactions and deliver Magnesium more effectively in finished formulations.

Performance Advantages

Conventional Magnesium citrate is highly hygroscopic and can interact with sensitive ingredients, resulting in moisture absorption, caking, reduced shelf life, mineral-vitamin interactions and processing challenges.

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Magnesium Citrate remains protected throughout manufacturing and storage, allowing Magnesium release at the desired stage while preserving formulation integrity.

Benefits of Encapsulation

• Reduced hygroscopicity and moisture uptake.
• Improved flowability and handling characteristics.
• Protection of sensitive vitamins and bio actives.
• Reduced mineral-induced flavor changes.
• Enhanced shelf-life stability.
• Improved compatibility with probiotics and enzymes.
• Greater manufacturing flexibility.
• Consistent Magnesium delivery.
