Dietary surveys show that intakes of magnesium are lower than recommended for a number of age groups. Fortification of foods can help to keep magnesium levels within healthy limits.
Zenica BioPlus offers a range of stabilised magnesium sources suitable for a variety of fortification applications:
- Bio-Mg AAS® (stabilised magnesium gluconate)
- BioLactate-Mg AAS® (stabilised magnesium lactate)
