CAS 927-20-8 Magnesium Glycerophosphate Powder
What is Magnesium Glycerophosphate?
Magnesium glycerophosphate is a compound composed of glycerol, phosphate, and magnesium ions. It is synthesized by reacting glycerol with phosphoric acid, followed by the incorporation of magnesium ions. As an effective muscle relaxant, it is widely used in the medical field. The pharmacological effects of magnesium glycerophosphate are primarily achieved by influencing neurotransmitter release and neuromuscular junction function. By inhibiting nerve transmission and reducing the ability of nerve impulses to reach muscles, it effectively promotes muscle relaxation.
Magnesium glycerophosphate is a colorless, odorless powder that is water-soluble and commonly used in pharmaceuticals and food additives. As a nutritional enhancer, it is often employed in the treatment of constipation and the prevention of magnesium deficiency. Compared to other forms of magnesium, magnesium glycerophosphate has a lower risk of causing diarrhea, making it more suitable for long-term use. Additionally, it is considered an ideal choice for stress relief, improving sleep, and reducing anxiety, particularly in supporting nervous system health and promoting relaxation.
