Di-magnesium Phosphate

Di-magnesium phosphate is a mineral salt that occurs naturally in the body and is also found in some foods. It is manufactured by reacting magnesium compounds with phosphoric acid. It is commonly used as a food additive.

Manufacturers add di-magnesium phosphate to foods as an anti-caking agent, helping to keep powders free-flowing. It can also act as a nutrient supplement, providing magnesium. It is found in baked goods, processed meats, and dietary supplements.

Di-magnesium phosphate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It serves as a source of magnesium, an essential mineral. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated magnesium compounds. At typical dietary intake levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
