Magnesium hypophosphite is used as a reducing agent in pharmaceuticals and plating, as a fertilizer and soil additive in agriculture, and as a veterinary treatment for hypomagnesaemia (magnesium deficiency) in livestock.
Applications/uses
Magnesium deficiency treatment: It is used to treat and prevent hypomagnesaemia (low magnesium levels), particularly in animals like cattle, goats, and sheep, often injected as a pure solution.
Injectable formulations: It is used in the preparation of sterile injectable pharmaceuticals due to its high solubility and purity.
Potential therapeutic agent: There is research into its potential use as a treatment for obesity in humans.
Reducing agent: It functions as a reducing agent in certain applications, including the food coloring industry.
Food coloring: It is used in the manufacturing of food coloring.
Preservation: Although not its main use, hypophosphites have been explored for use as a nitrite-sparing agent in cured meat products.
