A white mineral powder made from desalinated deep sea water drawn off Okinawa, Japan, on a gamma-cyclodextrin carrier: 25% deep sea water solids, 75% carrier. Magnesium leads the mineral profile at 2,890 mg per 100 g, about 29 mg per gram. The documented application is masking taste and odour in powdered drinks such as green vegetable and protein mixes.

The carrier is 75% of the powder: gamma-cyclodextrin from US corn, GMO status not segregated. Brands that need a non-GMO or organic claim should settle this before sampling.
Masking in powdered drinks is the documented use. At about 29 mg of magnesium per gram, a magnesium amount on the label sets the inclusion in grams: 150 mg of magnesium takes about 5.2 g of powder. Check taste and blend at that level on the sample.
The producer specification covers microbiology and water activity, and the mineral test report covers 12 elements. If your market asks for lead, arsenic, cadmium or mercury per lot, tell us before you order and we confirm what can be provided for your lot.
Some markets, including the UAE, require halal certification for supplements. Raise it at the start so the documents are checked before you commit to a formula.
In the US, gamma-cyclodextrin is the subject of an FDA GRAS notice for use as a carrier and formulation aid. Other markets classify it under their own food rules, so confirm the status with your regulatory team.

Deep Sea Water Powder brings minerals from Japanese deep sea water into a white powder for dry formulations. The deep sea water is drawn off Okinawa, desalinated and combined with gamma-cyclodextrin, so the minerals arrive as a powder rather than as a liquid concentrate.
The producer's documented application is masking taste and odour in powdered drinks, such as aojiru (Japanese green vegetable drinks) and protein powders. The carrier makes up three quarters of the powder, and cyclodextrins are used in foods to reduce bitter and astringent notes (see the guide below).
The same powder carries a magnesium-led mineral profile with sodium and potassium. The deep sea water origin gives a finished product a clear source story, and the mineral analysis gives the numbers behind it.
It is not a high-potency magnesium salt. At 2.89% magnesium, it is chosen for format, taste and origin rather than to reach a large magnesium dose in a small capsule.

Deep sea water is seawater from below about 200 m, where sunlight no longer reaches. Its physical and chemical properties differ from those of surface water: it stays cold and stable in temperature, carries few microorganisms and holds a wide range of dissolved minerals. Deep water moves slowly through the world's oceans; the producer describes this circulation as taking about 2,000 years.
The water used for this powder is drawn off Okinawa, Japan. The producer reports a stable temperature of 8-9 °C throughout the year.
Seawater is mostly sodium chloride, and desalination removes salt. The specification lists deep sea water and nigari as the source materials of the mineral fraction. Nigari, known in English as bittern, is the magnesium-rich liquid that remains after salt crystallises out of seawater; in Japan it is used to set tofu.
In the finished powder, magnesium is the leading mineral at 2,890 mg per 100 g, ahead of sodium (958 mg) and potassium (689 mg): about three parts magnesium to one part sodium.
Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body and a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems. An adult body contains about 25 g of magnesium, 50-60% of it in bone (NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, fact sheet updated January 2026). The recommended intake for adults is 310-420 mg per day depending on age and sex, and the US Daily Value for magnesium is 420 mg.
For a formulator the numbers translate simply: 1 g of this powder carries about 28.9 mg of magnesium (typical value), so 1.5 g carries about 43 mg, roughly 10% of the US Daily Value. Whether a label may state a magnesium content depends on the rules of your market.
Cyclodextrins are ring-shaped molecules made from starch by an enzyme, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase. The three common forms are alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrin; gamma-cyclodextrin has the largest internal cavity and the highest water solubility of the three (Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007). In this powder, the gamma-cyclodextrin is made from corn in the USA.
The ring's cavity can hold another molecule inside it, forming what chemists call an inclusion complex. A review of cyclodextrins in foods and drugs describes how bitter and astringent compounds held in such complexes cannot react with the taste buds, which is why cyclodextrins are used to reduce bitter tastes in foods and beverages (European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2005). This is the chemistry behind the producer's documented use of the powder for taste and odour masking in powdered drinks.
In the United States, gamma-cyclodextrin is the subject of FDA GRAS Notice No. 46, for use as a stabilizer, emulsifier, carrier and formulation aid; FDA responded in 2000 that it had no questions (FDA GRAS Notice Inventory). The notice covers the uses described in it, so check your own application against it.

It is 25.0% desalinated deep sea water solids and 75.0% gamma-cyclodextrin. The deep sea water is drawn off Okinawa, Japan, and the source materials of its mineral fraction are deep sea water and nigari; the gamma-cyclodextrin carrier is made from corn in the USA. Final manufacture is in Okinawa Prefecture, and the product is classified as a food in Japan.
Typical values per 100 g are magnesium 2,890 mg, sodium 958 mg, potassium 689 mg, calcium 4 mg and zinc 0.02 mg, which is about 28.9 mg of magnesium per gram. Phosphorus, iron, copper, manganese, selenium, molybdenum and chromium were not detected. The values come from the producer's mineral test report (ICP-OES, atomic absorption and ICP-MS); your lot's CoA governs.
The documented application is masking taste and odour in powdered drinks such as green vegetable drinks (aojiru) and protein powders. It also adds magnesium, sodium and potassium: at about 28.9 mg of magnesium per gram, a target of 150 mg of magnesium per serving needs about 5.2 g of powder. Other formats and inclusion levels are for your team to validate on the sample.
Allergens are not applicable for either component, and BSE status is none. GMO status does not apply to the deep sea water component; the gamma-cyclodextrin carrier is made from US corn with GMO status not segregated, so the powder does not suit non-GMO or organic claims. The source materials listed in the specification are deep sea water, nigari and corn.
