Magnesium Hydroxide by Quicksilver Scientific is a capsule-form dietary supplement designed to support GI regularity in those prone to occasional constipation. Each two-capsule serving delivers 700 mg of magnesium hydroxide, providing 266 mg of elemental magnesium. Magnesium hydroxide is a well-established form of magnesium used to support the regularity of bowel movements.
Magnesium hydroxide helps maintain normal hydration and volume of intestinal contents, promoting healthy bowel motility. GI regularity is considered essential for a healthy gut; the manufacturer notes that occasional disruption to normal bowel rhythm may affect the balance of microbes in the gut, and that supporting regularity may help maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
The capsules may be particularly useful alongside binding agents such as charcoal and bentonite clay, which are naturally constipating and may slow intestinal transit. Adding one to two capsules when taking binders may help maintain healthy and regular bowel movements, supporting normal excretion.
The formula is encapsulated in a plant-derived cellulose capsule, with microcrystalline cellulose and organic carnauba wax as excipients — no animal-derived ingredients. Quicksilver Scientific manufactures this product in an NSF GMP certified facility; it is tested allergen-free, tested gluten-free, vegan, tested non-GMO, and tested soy protein free.
