Consumer Advice
Magnesium diglutamate is the magnesium salt of glutamic acid, used as a flavour enhancer that adds umami while providing magnesium, an essential mineral. It contains no sodium and can be used in reduced-sodium products. It is safe at approved levels, as both glutamate and magnesium are normal bodily components; individuals sensitive to glutamates and those with kidney issues should still consume it in moderation.
