Magnesium Hydroxide is widely used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in tablet or suspension form to support magnesium intake and manage digestive health.
In pharmaceutical applications, magnesium hydroxide functions both as an antacid and as a gentle osmotic laxative. As an antacid, it neutralizes excess gastric acid, providing fast and effective relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. When used in higher doses, it acts as an osmotic laxative by attracting water into the intestines, which softens the stool and promotes natural bowel movements.
Magnesium hydroxide is considered well-tolerated and effective, especially for short-term use. Appropriate dosing is important to avoid side effects such as diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances, particularly in individuals with compromised kidney function.
The high elemental Magnesium content of Magnesium Hydroxide makes it a useful source of magnesium in food supplements, supporting adequate intake. However, its low solubility in water means it is absorbed more slowly than other forms, such as magnesium citrate or glycinate. For this reason, it is often combined with other magnesium salts to optimize overall magnesium uptake.
Magnesium hydroxide is permitted as source of Magnesium in all types of foods. It is found in various food products, such as protein drinks, bars, meal replacements and other nutritional powder formula. Magnesium hydroxide functions as an acidity regulator and anti-caking agent and is approved as food additive under E-number 528.
Lohtragon® C35, formulated based on Magnesium Hydroxide, is a versatile additive suitable for use across multiple applications. It acts as an effective flow aid and anti-caking agent. By offering excellent moisture absorption, it improves the material flow. By promoting more efficient production and contributing to safe, consistent processing, it provides an optimal solution for enhancing manufacturing performance and product quality.
Magnesium Hydroxide | Lohtragon® C35, is a key additive for use in electronics applications. It serves as an effective electrical insulator while boosting thermal stability and chemical resistance, helping to enhance overall device performance and durability. With its excellent mechanical strength and optimized thermal behavior, it supports the reliable function and extended lifespan of high-performance electronic components.
Lohtragon® C35, based on Magnesium Hydroxide, is a highly efficient additive for polymer applications, functioning as a powerful acid scavenger. It offers a cost-efficient solution by effectively neutralizing significant acid levels, which helps improve the stability and shelf life of the final product. Compared to alternative neutralizing agents, it is regarded as a safe and dependable option, making it well-suited for high-performance and durable polymer formulations.
Lohtragon® C35, based on Magnesium Hydroxide, is a versatile additive and precursor used in ceramic and glass manufacturing, including Magnesium-Aluminum-Silicate (MAS) glass ceramics. It functions as a stabilizer, improving thermal resistance and mechanical strength, while supporting uniformity and reliability in production. As a precursor, it provides a reliable source of magnesium, allowing precise control of composition and microstructure, making it ideal for developing advanced glass ceramics. These attributes make it a key material for producing durable, high-quality ceramic and glass products.
