About Magnesium

Magnesium participates in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the human body and plays an important role in energy metabolism, normal nervous system function, muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and bone health. As an essential dietary mineral, magnesium is widely used in nutritional products designed to support daily mineral intake and nutritional fortification.
As a nutritional magnesium manufacturer, RICHEN provides a broad range of magnesium ingredients for dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, dairy products, sports nutrition, and specialized nutrition formulations.

Magnesium (Mg) Benefits

Energy Metabolism

Magnesium is essential for cellular energy production because ATP predominantly functions as a Mg–ATP complex, supporting efficient energy-yielding metabolism in daily physiological processes.
Protein Synthesis

Magnesium supports ribosome structure and rRNA stability, enabling normal protein synthesis and efficient cellular growth and repair.
Bone Health

Magnesium assists in the activation of vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphate homeostasis to influence the growth and maintenance of bones.
Nerve Function

Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function

Target

End-Use Markets for Magnesium Ingredients

Infants, Children & Adolescents

During rapid growth, infants, children and adolescents need adequate magnesium to support normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system function, and the maintenance of normal bones for active development, while supporting neuromuscular function and helping reduce occasional muscle twitching.

Middle-Aged & Older Adults

Middle-aged and older adults prioritize long-term nutrition to support mobility. Magnesium ingredients can be incorporated into formulations designed to help maintain normal bones and support normal muscle function.

General Wellness Consumers with Dietary Gaps

Consumers with unbalanced diets or low intake of magnesium-rich foods use fortification or supplements to support normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system function, and everyday wellbeing.
