Tasty Potassium for food fortification and food supplements

Potassium is the major intracellular cation and is maintaining the electrolyte balance within the body. To ensure a proper muscle performance potassium and magnesium have to be replenished after sports. 

Potassium-Magnesium Citrate is clear soluble and has a pleasant taste. It is a free flowing, non-hygroscopic powder and contains 26% Potassium and 4 % Magnesium (7.7 g ≙ 100% NRV Potassium / 82% NRV Magnesium). Two minerals can be delivered by using just one fully reacted mineral salt. Potassium plus Magnesium is a perfect mineral combination for sportive people. Both promote a normal muscle function and a normal functioning of the nervous system. 

Other potassium sources are accompanied with a salty or bitter taste which has to be masked by intense flavors. The use of Potassium Magnesium Citrate can minimize the needed amount of flavorings and sugar or sweeteners. Especially for liquid food supplements it is a good possibility to achieve a high amount of the daily recommended intake by a ready to drink product. The use of Potassium Magnesium Citrate can have a taste masking effect in ready to eat food products.

In Europe Potassium Magnesium Citrate is permitted for the fortification of foods, food supplements, food for special medical purposes, and total diet replacement for weight control.
