Magnesium Hydroxide: Medical and Food Grade Magnesium Hydroxide

Magnesium hydroxide is an antacid that has the effects of neutralizing gastric acid and relieving diarrhea. In addition, as a food additive, it has the effect of supplementing magnesium and, to a certain extent, anti-anxiety effects.

Magnesium Hydroxide-Pharma Grade

Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. ‘s medical and food grade magnesium hydroxide is prepared by ammonia synthesis, and foreign matter is effectively removed by precision filters; while mineral-derived magnesium hydroxide uses a high-temperature hydrolysis process of mineral magnesium oxide, and impurities are difficult to remove, and there are many visible foreign matter; magnesium hydroxide removes metal elements by forming a complex with ammonia and metal ions during the production process, effectively reducing metal ion residues, and the product metal ion residues are low, especially Class I and Class 2A element impurities are far below the limit requirements; while magnesium hydroxide from other mineral sources does not have an effective means of removing impurities, and the risk of element impurity residues is high, which poses a potential safety risk; magnesium hydroxide effectively controls the crystallization rate, and the resulting magnesium hydroxide has a larger particle size, with a conventional particle size of about 100 microns, which can meet all particle size requirements of D (90) 2~100μm through crushing; the quality meets CMP, JP, EP, USP, and KP standards.

Magnesium hydroxide is a non-absorbable antacid. This type of drug is not absorbed by the digestive tract at all, or only absorbed in very small amounts, so it has no systemic effect. Magnesium hydroxide has similar effects to magnesium oxide. It reacts slowly with hydrochloric acid and has a long-lasting effect. Magnesium hydroxide that does not react with hydrochloric acid and stays in the stomach can react with newly secreted hydrochloric acid. It has the same laxative effect as magnesium oxide.
