Popular questions
Is magnesium stearate safe?
Yes—magnesium stearate (E572) is considered safe at permitted levels by major regulators (e.g., FDA GRAS; EFSA/JECFA no safety concern at typical uses).
Is magnesium stearate bad for your liver?
There’s no evidence it harms the liver at normal food or supplement levels; stearate is metabolized like other dietary fats and the magnesium contribution is minimal.
What is magnesium stearate used for?
It’s used as a lubricant/flow agent in tablets and capsules and as an anti-caking or release agent in foods to help powders flow and prevent sticking.
Is magnesium stearate bad for you?
No—at normal use levels it isn’t associated with harm; very high intakes may cause mild digestive upset in some people.
What is vegetable magnesium stearate?
It’s the same compound made from plant-derived stearic acid (e.g., palm or other vegetable oils) rather than animal fat, labeled for vegetarian or dietary preference reasons.
550 mg of calcium carbonate and 110 mg of magnesium hydroxide what is the total of moles?
CaCO3 ≈ 0.0055 mol and Mg(OH)2 ≈ 0.0019 mol, for a total of about 0.0074 mol; note E504ii is magnesium hydroxide carbonate (a different compound).
Bone contains living cells and organic matter such as collagen, protein, and polysaccharides. however, much of the volume of bone is made up of minerals, which may comprise as much as 65% of bone mass. calcium and phosphate are the most common minerals, with calcium in the form of hydroxyapatite [ca₁₀(po₄)₆(oh)₂] and calcium carbonate [caco₃]. magnesium hydroxide, fluoride, and sulfate may also be present. where do you think the body gets the needed minerals?
Primarily from the diet and drinking water; small amounts may also come from permitted food additives and fortificants, including magnesium salts such as E504ii (basic magnesium carbonate) when used in foods.
Calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide a stronger base when treated with hci?
Magnesium hydroxide is the stronger base and neutralizes more HCl per gram; E504ii (basic magnesium carbonate) is milder, with neutralizing strength between carbonate and hydroxide forms.
Calcium carbonate vs magnesium hydroxide which is a stronger base?
Magnesium hydroxide is stronger; hydroxide is a stronger base than carbonate and provides higher acid-neutralizing capacity per gram.
How does calcium carbonate differ from magnesium hydroxide?
Calcium carbonate is a carbonate salt that reacts with acid to release CO2 and is a weaker base per gram, while magnesium hydroxide is a hydroxide that forms water and salts without CO2 and is a stronger base; E504ii is basic magnesium carbonate, a related magnesium salt used mainly as a carrier in foods.
