Although it is the same magnesium sulfate, it is not the same product used in industrial production and food and pharmaceutical production.

The addition of magnesium sulfate to food additives can be used as a nutrient base in the fermentation process to increase the content of magnesium ions. This industry has high quality requirements for magnesium sulfate, heavy metal content, chloride content, etc. must meet the requirements of national standards, and the products produced in a sterile environment can meet the requirements of most customers.
