Magnesium Supplement Manufacturer
Gummies, capsules, tablets, powders and liquids — engineered around the salt you choose.
INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT
Magnesium Supplement Manufacturing — Your Formula, Our Line
We manufacture Magnesium products on our partner lines in Zhengzhou, China. Bring a finished formula, a target active level or a rough concept, and we convert it into a specification we can run in bulk — salt form and elemental content included.
- Citrate, glycinate, oxide and other salts made to your formula
- Tablet, capsule, gummy and powder formats
- Elemental content declared against your specification
Citrate, glycinate, oxide, malate and threonate — the salt you choose decides the dose, the mouthfeel and what you can honestly print on the label.
12 Dosage Forms
Gummies, capsules, softgels, tablets, powders, liquids and solid beverages — all run in-house.
6 Production Lines
Two GMP facilities covering 14,000 sqm, 200+ employees, no subcontracted fill.
100+ Export Markets
cGMP, HACCP, ISO 22000 and HALAL certified. Documentation built for your market.

Why the Salt Matters More Than the Milligrams
Magnesium is one of the highest-volume minerals in the supplement market and one of the most misunderstood. Almost every buyer searching for a magnesium product is really choosing a salt — and three decisions behind that choice shape the whole project.
Salt Choice Sets the Dose
Citrate is well absorbed and delivers a 300 mg elemental dose in a manageable tablet. Oxide carries about 60% elemental magnesium by weight — efficient on paper, until a large elemental dose will not fit a swallowable tablet and the consumer notices the laxative effect.
Format vs Elemental Load
Gummies are popular but constrained: the mineral must be carried without turning the pectin base gritty, and the load per gummy is limited by taste. Powders and stick packs carry a full 300–400 mg elemental dose in a flavoured drink; capsules sit between the two.
Label Arithmetic
If your artwork says 200 mg magnesium, that is elemental magnesium — and the salt weight behind it is two to six times larger depending on the salt. It is the most common labelling error we see in inbound artwork, so we check the arithmetic before print, not after.
Formats We Run
Gummies & Chewables
4 g unit weight as standard, 40–100 mg elemental per piece, pectin or gelatin base.
Hard Capsules
HPMC or gelatin, 50–150 mg elemental per capsule, usually a 2–3 capsule daily serving.
Tablets
Compressed and film-coated, up to 400 mg elemental — size grows quickly with the salt choice.
Powder & Stick Packs
3–30 g servings, the most flexible format for a full 300–400 mg elemental dose.
Liquid
10–1,000 ml bottles, ready-to-drink or concentrate, using a soluble salt and a suspension system.
Softgels
Oil or suspension fill, usually for a blended mineral-and-oil product.
What We Check Before Release
Elemental Assay
Elemental magnesium assayed on the finished product and compared against the label arithmetic — not inferred from the raw salt.
Salt Identity
Salt identity confirmed on every batch. The cheapest failures come from a substitution between similar-looking salts.
Heavy Metals & Micro
Lead, cadmium and arsenic to the strictest market in the order, plus microbiological limits on the finished product and the blend before compression.
Dissolution & Shelf Life
Disintegration and dissolution timing — which shifts materially between salts — plus colour, flavour and texture through shelf life for gummies and liquids.
Sourcing and Specification Notes
Regularly Stocked Salts
Citrate, glycinate, oxide, malate, threonate, taurate and lactate are all regularly stocked — no waiting on a specialty import.
Price Moves With the Salt
Salt replacement changes price meaningfully — glycinate runs several times the cost of oxide per elemental unit. We price the salt you actually need.
Market Intake Caps
Where a destination market caps a maximum daily intake, we flag it before artwork is finalised rather than after.
Vegan & Organic Options
Organic-certified salts and vegan-shell formats are available on request, with the claim settled before the line runs.
One Thing Buyers Get Wrong
Confusing salt weight with elemental weight. If your label says 400 mg magnesium, the material behind it may be 1,800 mg of citrate or 670 mg of oxide. We build the artwork from the elemental figure and show you the salt weight it implies. The second version of the same mistake is chasing the highest elemental load without tasting it — oxide is cheap and compact, but a large oxide dose is gritty in a drink and laxative in the gut. Cheaper on paper, worse in repeat purchase.
Popular Formulas We Run
The salt you choose drives the whole formula — these are the combinations buyers order most.
Sleep + Calm
Magnesium glycinate with GABA or melatonin for a sleep-positioned capsule or gummy.
Daily Mineral
Magnesium citrate with vitamin D3 and zinc for a general repletion stack.
Sports + Recovery
Magnesium malate with electrolytes and B-vitamins for a post-workout stick pack.

What is the minimum order quantity for magnesium gummies or capsules?
MOQ is confirmed per format and specification at quotation stage. Elemental load, salt choice, unit weight and packaging all move the figure, so send us the target label dose and format for an exact number.
Which magnesium salt should I choose?
It depends on what you are selling. Citrate and glycinate suit general-use capsules and gummies. Oxide suits budget tablets. Malate is common in sports products and threonate in cognitive-positioned ones. Tell us the position, the label claim and the format and we will recommend a salt and price it.
Can you match the label arithmetic exactly?
Yes, and we check it before print. Give us the elemental magnesium figure you want on the label and we will show you the salt weight, the capsule or tablet count and the cost behind it.
Do you produce magnesium powders and stick packs?
Yes. Powder and stick packs are our most flexible magnesium format because they carry a full 300–400 mg elemental dose without the size or taste problem a tablet or gummy creates.
Is the product suitable for vegans?
Most magnesium salts are vegan by nature. The shell is the variable — we offer HPMC and pectin options so the finished product can carry a vegan claim where your market permits it.
How long does bulk production take?
We reply to enquiries within 24 hours and send a quotation within 48. Samples take 2-3 days, and standard bulk runs complete in 5–10 days with packaged goods leaving in 10–15 days.
DOSAGE FORMS
Which format should your Magnesium product take?
The same Magnesium blend can be delivered in several forms, and each one changes the fill weight, the taste profile and the tooling. We produce tablet, capsule and powder in-house, so the choice is driven by your market rather than by what a third party can supply.
- Forms we run for this ingredient: tablets, capsules and powders
- Pilot batch from 1–5 kg before any bulk commitment
- Fill weight, unit count and pack format set to your brief
