Characteristic
Magnesium alginate consists of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid and has excellent physicochemical properties. It is a white to light yellow powder, odorless and tasteless, and can be dissolved in water to form a thick solution. In addition, it can chelate with divalent metal ions to form a gel. Magnesium alginate has broad application prospects in healthcare and pharmaceutical fields. Statistically, the magnesium alginate market is expected to experience significant growth between 2024 and 2031. Alfa Chemistry is committed to providing customers with high-quality magnesium alginate. If you need, please contact us immediately.

Main Applications
- Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common disorder in infants capable of causing symptoms such as irritability, cough, anorexia/refusal to eat, regurgitation and vomiting. Magnesium alginate formulations reduced persistent gastroesophageal reflux symptoms both in formula-fed and breast-fed infants not responsive to behavioral and diet approaches [1]. In addition, magnesium alginate has been shown to be more effective for symptoms without a systemic mode of action and has a favorable safety profile.
Magnesium alginate can be made into a drug to prevent coronary artery disease. In addition, magnesium alginate, which is odorless, tasteless, and easily forms thick solutions, can be used as a feed additive for livestock and poultry.
