Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions buyers ask most when specifying natural hydration fortification.

Can I make an electrolyte balance claim on pack?

Yes. Magnesium carries the EFSA-authorised claim for electrolyte balance, which is the claim most central to the hydration category. Eiméar confirms the exact permitted wording for your product and market.

Which formats does it suit?

Electrolyte and sports drinks, hydration sachets and multipliers, functional waters, recovery supplements, powdered shakes and functional beverages. It dissolves cleanly in powder and liquid; for liquid and heat-processed formats Eiméar calculates overages.

Is it suitable for sports and recovery products?

Yes. Beyond electrolyte balance, Magnesium supports normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and B12 supports energy metabolism - a natural fit for post-exercise recovery and rehydration positioning.

Which EFSA health claims does this blend support?

A hydration and recovery claim set under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006:

Hydration and muscle: electrolyte balance, normal muscle function (Magnesium

)Energy and fatigue: reduction of tiredness and fatigue, energy-yielding metabolism (Magnesium, B12)

Structural: normal protein synthesis, maintenance of normal bones and teeth (Magnesium)

Mind, blood and immunity: nervous-system and psychological function, red blood cell formation, immune function (Magnesium, B12)

The complete list is in the spec sheet and confirmed for your dosage by Eiméar before label sign-off.

Are organic sources used?

The blend uses marine Magnesium and shiitake B12; organic options can be discussed per project. Wherever possible we prioritise organic sources.

What MOQ and lead times apply?

Premix blends carry a 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time, and a 24-month shelf life. Samples are available on request.
