Our products in pharmaceutical and
food grade quality
Health and fitness are very important aspects of our today's society. Therefore, nutraceuticals that
offer an optimal supply with vitamins and minerals are broadly used. To be effective in the human
body, minerals require a good bioavailability.
Especially for the use in pharmaceuticals, food supplements and food additives, Magnesia offers a
range of products as listed on the following pages. For an increased efficiency of your production,
we offer some products as ready-to-use granulates. Some of these granulated products contain
additives like maize starch, maltodextrin or sorbitol to ensure optimal stability. These granulated
products are further described in a special MagGran® brochure, which we can provide you with upon
request. Please contact us directly if you cannot find a product in our product list that you require.
Quality and service are a matter of course for our team of skilled and well-trained experts.
Sustainability and efficiency characterise all our activities. Magnesia is certified according to ISO
9001 and HACCP. Each step of our products is documented – from production to final delivery. All our
products correspond to the international pharmacopoeias, the FCC or the food law of the European
Union. All orders are commissioned according to your requirements and delivered just in time.
Magnesium
Calcium
Magnesium is essential for the human organism. It
takes part in many metabolic processes. Magnesium
salts positively influence coronary diseases, blood
pressure or muscular pain.
Calcium is very important for the living organism. It
influences the neurotransmission, it is involved in the
function of muscles, nerves and in cell division as well
as in activating certain enzymes and hormones.
Sodium
Potassium
Sodium regulates the water content of living bodies,
the acid-base-balance and ensures the excitability of
muscles and nerves and activates certain enzymes.
Potassium is an essential mineral. It belongs to the
most important electrolytes in body fluids and is jointly
responsible for the control of muscles. In food industry
potassium is used as acidity regulator and is listed as
food additive E 525 in the European Union.
Zinc
Technical information and
samples
Current and detailed specifications of all products and
corresponding material safety
data sheets can be provided.
Samples of all grades will be
despatched upon your request.
Zinc is responsible for many different functions. It is
very important for the metabolic process of sugar, fat
and protein. It takes part in cell growth. Zinc supports
the functions of the immune system and of hormones.
Ointments containing zinc are used for wound healing.

Our history
The roots: Magnesia has its origin in the Saline of Lüneburg. Being documentary mentioned for the first time in 956, the saline produced table salts until
the end of 1980. At the beginning of the 20th century the "Saline Lüneburg
und Chemische Fabrik GmbH" started with the production of Magnesium and
Calcium compounds.
The beginning: Magnesia GmbH was founded as successor of the Saline
Lüneburg. The medium-sized company, being based in Lüneburg, focused
on business in Magnesium, Calcium and further mineral based compounds.
Continuously, the product portfolio has been enlarged.
Until today: In recent years, Magnesia evolved into an innovative and successful globally established distribution company. In 2010, the Magnesia AG
was founded with headquarters in Münchenstein, Switzerland. Since 2010,
the magnesia group is growing steadily in Europe to expand its strong market
position further.
