Manganese Lactate Dihydrate

Manganese lactate dihydrate is the manganese(II) salt of lactic acid carrying two molecules of water of crystallisation, supplied by Nustras as a fine powder and used as an organic-acid source of the trace mineral manganese for supplements and fortification. Manganese is an essential trace element and a cofactor for several enzymes, and the lactate salt is soluble in water.

It is formulated into mineral and multimineral supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into vitamin-mineral premixes, into fortified foods and beverages, and into animal-nutrition premixes where a soluble manganese source is specified.

The material is a fine powder with the molecular formula C6H16MnO8 and a molecular weight of 271.12. Manganese content, loss on drying, water-insoluble matter and pH are standardised to specification; identity and assay are confirmed by complexometric titration or atomic absorption spectroscopy, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies manganese lactate dihydrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Manganese (as manganese lactate) is a permitted mineral source in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the elemental-manganese contribution and permitted level for their application.
