Minerals & Electrolytes
Minerals & Electrolyte Premix Supplier
Where can I source chelated minerals and electrolyte premixes from China?
AICHENGFU supports mineral ingredients and electrolyte premix solutions for sports nutrition, hydration drinks, tablets, capsules and functional powder applications. Our portfolio includes chelated minerals (bisglycinate, picolinate) and mineral salts (citrate) with custom premix formulation capabilities.
What mineral ingredients does AICHENGFU supply?
AICHENGFU supplies mineral ingredients in chelated and non-chelated forms for supplement, sports nutrition and functional beverage applications. Chelated minerals are bound to amino acids (like glycine) for improved absorption and better gastrointestinal tolerance, making them ideal for higher-dose applications.
Our mineral portfolio includes magnesium (bisglycinate, citrate, L-threonate, oxide), potassium (citrate), and zinc (citrate, picolinate, bisglycinate). Each form offers different bioavailability characteristics and cost profiles, allowing buyers to select the optimal ingredient for their specific application and price point.
We also offer custom electrolyte premix formulation services. Rather than sourcing and blending individual minerals, buyers can specify their target electrolyte ratios and receive a pre-mixed powder that simplifies manufacturing and ensures consistent product quality.

How do I choose between magnesium forms?
Different magnesium forms suit different applications:
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Best for high-dose applications, sports recovery, sleep - excellent absorption, gentle on stomach
Magnesium Citrate
Good all-round option for general supplementation at moderate doses, cost-effective
Magnesium L-Threonate
Premium option for cognitive support formulas - crosses blood-brain barrier
Magnesium Oxide
Budget option with lower bioavailability - suitable for cost-sensitive formulations

Minerals & Electrolytes FAQs
Common questions from B2B buyers about sourcing mineral ingredients and electrolyte premixes.
AICHENGFU supplies mineral ingredients and electrolyte premix solutions for global B2B buyers. Our portfolio includes magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium L-threonate, potassium citrate, zinc citrate, zinc picolinate, and custom electrolyte premixes. We provide documentation support including COA, TDS and MSDS depending on product, grade and batch.
Chelated minerals (such as magnesium bisglycinate) are bound to amino acids for improved absorption and reduced GI side effects. Non-chelated minerals (such as magnesium oxide or citrate) are generally less expensive but may require higher use levels for equivalent absorption. Chelation matters most at higher doses in sports nutrition applications where tolerability is important.
Chelated minerals (bisglycinate forms) typically have higher bioavailability than non-chelated mineral salts. Magnesium bisglycinate has approximately 2-4x higher bioavailability than magnesium oxide. For sports nutrition at higher doses, chelated minerals are typically preferred for their better tolerability and absorption.
Yes, AICHENGFU offers fully customisable electrolyte premixes. We can adjust sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and other mineral ratios to match your target formulation, use level and format requirements. Custom premixes simplify your supply chain and improve product consistency.
Standard sports drink ratios approximate sweat loss profiles: sodium 300-600mg per litre, potassium 100-200mg per litre, magnesium 30-60mg per litre. AICHENGFU can customise ratios for specific product concepts, target consumer demographics and format requirements. We provide formulation guidance based on your application.
Solubility varies by mineral form. Citrate and bisglycinate forms are generally water-soluble and suitable for beverage applications. Oxide and carbonate forms have limited water solubility. AICHENGFU specifies solubility characteristics for each product and offers water-soluble formats optimised for beverage applications.
COA, TDS, MSDS and related files may be available depending on product, grade and batch. Documentation typically includes assay content, heavy metals, microbiology, particle size and solubility data. Selected manufacturing partners may support HACCP, ISO, HALAL, KOSHER or other certifications.
