Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid CAS 14783-68-7

About Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid

Chelated Magnesium Amino Acid is formed by wrapping magnesium ions inside amino acid ligand structures through controlled chelation reaction. Unlike inorganic magnesium sources such as magnesium sulfate or oxide, the chelated form protects magnesium ions from binding with phytic acid, calcium and other antagonists in the digestive tract, significantly improving intestinal absorption efficiency and reducing digestive irritation such as diarrhea commonly seen with high-dose inorganic magnesium.

As an essential macro mineral, magnesium participates in bone mineralization, nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and energy metabolism in animals. Chelated delivery allows targeted release in the intestinal tract, making it suitable for use during stress periods, young animal stages and high-density breeding systems where mineral absorption efficiency is critical.

Key Nutrition Applications

Livestock farming
Added to swine, poultry and ruminant complete feeds to maintain normal bone density and neuromuscular excitability. It helps alleviate heat stress and transport stress, stabilizes feed intake and supports consistent growth performance and reproductive efficiency.

Aquaculture
Used in shrimp, fish and crustacean feeds to support exoskeleton calcification and nerve function. It improves stress tolerance during water quality fluctuations and stocking operations, and supports survival rate and growth speed in high-density farming.

Pet food & specialty nutrition
Incorporated into canine and feline diets to support cardiac function, neuromuscular health and coat condition. The chelated form is gentler on sensitive digestive tracts and works well in premium and therapeutic pet food formulas.

FAQ

Q: How does chelated magnesium compare to magnesium sulfate in feed?

A: Chelated magnesium has much higher intestinal absorption rate, does not easily antagonize with calcium or phytic acid, and causes less digestive irritation and diarrhea. It is more suitable for sensitive stages and high-density breeding.

Q: What is the typical inclusion rate in broiler and pig diets?

A: Usually 0.5–1.5 kg per ton of complete feed. Exact dosage depends on basal diet magnesium level, animal age and production stage.

Q: How to verify chelation quality?

A: Evaluate via solubility observation and formal chelation rate assay. High-quality chelated magnesium disperses evenly in water with low free magnesium content, and typically shows ≥ 90% chelation rate.
