8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the main benefit of choosing the 98% UV grade MAG?

A: The 98% UV grade offers the lowest impurity levels and highest potency, which is critical for clear solutions, pharmaceutical use, and meeting strict regulatory standards.

Q2: How does MAG compare to Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA) itself?

A: MAG is the salt form, making it much more water-soluble and easier to formulate with than the parent Glycyrrhizic Acid, while retaining the primary benefits.

Q3: Can MAG be used to mask bitter tastes?

A: Yes, it is one of the best natural ingredients for masking bitterness, making it indispensable for formulations containing high levels of vitamins or botanical extracts.
