Magnesium Oxide

Daran Biotech Magnesium Oxide Powder (Light/Heavy Grade) – High-Purity Antacid & Digestive Support Agent‌

‌Product Overview‌

Daran Biotech’s ‌Magnesium Oxide‌ (MgO) is a versatile alkaline compound available in ‌light‌ and ‌heavy grades‌, tailored for pharmaceutical and food applications. This odorless, white powder acts as a potent antacid with prolonged gastric acid neutralization and gentle laxative effects. By reacting with stomach acid to form magnesium chloride, it alleviates acid reflux, supports ulcer healing, and stimulates bowel motility without gas production. Its dual-grade versatility ensures optimized performance in tablets, powders, and industrial formulations.

‌Key Features‌

1. ‌Dual-Action Digestive Support‌

   • ‌Antacid Power‌: Neutralizes gastric acid 2-3x longer than sodium bicarbonate, avoiding CO2-induced bloating.
   • ‌Mild Laxative‌: Magnesium ions stimulate intestinal water retention and peristalsis for constipation relief.

2. ‌Grade-Specific Applications‌

   • ‌Light Grade‌: Fine, high-surface-area powder for fast-dissolving antacid tablets and suspensions.
   • ‌Heavy Grade‌: Dense granules for controlled-release formulations and food processing (anti-caking, pH adjustment).

3. ‌Stability & Safety‌

   • Hygroscopicity managed through sealed packaging; reacts slowly with water to form Mg(OH)₂.
   • Complies with ‌USP/Ph.Eur.‌ standards for pharmaceuticals and ‌FDA GRAS‌ for food use.

4. ‌Multi-Industry Utility‌

   • ‌Pharmaceuticals‌: First-line therapy for acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and magnesium deficiency.
   • ‌Food Industry‌: Alkaline agent in cocoa, sugar refining, and sports nutrition for electrolyte balance.

‌Applications‌

• ‌Antacid Medications‌: Tablets or liquids for heartburn and indigestion.
• ‌Laxative Preparations‌: Combats constipation in geriatric or postoperative care.
• ‌Food Additives‌: pH adjuster in beverages, anti-caking agent in powdered mixes.
• ‌Clinical Nutrition‌: Supports magnesium replenishment in deficiency conditions.

‌Why Choose Magnesium Oxide?‌

• ‌Non-Systemic Relief‌: Localized action minimizes systemic absorption risks.
• ‌Cost-Effective‌: High magnesium content (60% elemental Mg) reduces dosage volume.
• ‌Regulatory Alignment‌: Meets stringent pharmacopeial purity criteria (heavy metals <10ppm).

‌Technical Specifications‌

‌Scientific Backing‌

• Clinical studies confirm ‌>90% acid neutralization capacity‌ within 10 minutes, sustained for 1-2 hours.
• Heavy grade’s low reactivity ideal for heat-resistant food processing (e.g., cocoa alkalization at high temps).
