Magnesium carbonate, which has antacid properties, contains 40 percent magnesium.
It is well known that all living things require magnesium, and that it is found in over 300 enzymes in the human body.
Numerous magnesium studies has known to address these primary applications:
Magnesium also plays a role in your body's detoxification processes and therefore is important for helping to prevent damage from environmental chemicals, heavy metals and other toxins. Even glutathione, your body's most powerful antioxidant that has even been called "the master antioxidant," requires magnesium for its synthesis.
Usually, a well-balanced diet provides normal blood levels of magnesium. However, certain situations cause your body to lose magnesium faster than you can replace it from your diet. These situations include treatment with "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), a poor diet, alcoholism, or other medical conditions (e.g., severe diarrhea/vomiting, stomach/intestinal absorption problems, poorly controlled diabetes).
Magnesium carbonate is a white, powdery compound that occurs naturally as dolomite and magnesite and is widely marketed as a health supplement. Its active ingredient is magnesium, a mineral that your body requires to function efficiently. MedlinePlus estimates that the human body typically contains 25 g of magnesium, half of which is found in bone. Magnesium carbonate has a wide array of medicinal properties above and beyond its role in the prevention and treatment of magnesium deficiency. As always, consult your doctor before trying to prevent, treat or cure any condition with magnesium carbonate.
Magnesium Carbonate is insoluble in water. Please put this in capsules or add to fruit juice or smoothies to aid in taking.
Magnesium carbonate, sometimes referred to as 'chalk', is used as a drying agent for hands in rock climbing, gymnastics, and weight lifting. It is also used widely as an alternative to talc. Interestingly because of its water-insoluble, hygroscopic properties Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3) was first added to salt in 1911 to make the salt flow more freely. The Morton Salt company adopted the slogan "When it rains it pours" in reference to the fact that its MgCO3-containing salt would not stick together in humid weather.
