Magnesium stearate, a white, powdery substance, is frequently used as a lubricant in the production of pharmaceutical tablets and dietary supplements. It is made by combining stearic acid, a saturated fat present in both animal and plant products, with magnesium hydroxide.
Magnesium stearate is used in in the making of tablets and capsules because it is known for lowering friction and preventing ingredients from adhering to one another. Magnesium stearate is known for its ability to reduce friction and prevent ingredients from sticking together, which makes it useful in the production of tablets and capsules.
Despite its widespread use, there is some debate about the safety of magnesium stearate, with some people claiming that it may have negative effects on the body. In this video, we will take a closer look at magnesium stearate and explore its uses, potential benefits, and any potential risks or concerns.
Whether you are a consumer, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, or a researcher, this video will provide valuable information about this versatile and widely used ingredient.
