Magnesium Carbonate (Light, Bulk Density 0.12)
Food
Code: 253069
Magnesium Carbonate — Light grade; anti‑caking, pH regulator; Low solubility; grade-dependent bulk density.
Magnesium Carbonate (Light) Light grade food additive / mineral source
| Benefit | Typical study dose* | Key human findings | High-quality sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium fortification | 50–200 mg elemental Mg/day; per‑serving delivery depends on formulation | Supports enzymatic, neuromuscular, cardiovascular functions in deficient populations | ODS: Magnesium Fact Sheet |
| pH regulation / buffering | Formulation‑specific; neutralizes acid (CO₂ release) to stabilize pH | Helps moderate acidity and maintain flavor balance in beverages/foods | Lohmann‑Minerals Technical Note |
| Anti‑caking / flow aid | Typically 0.2–1.0% in powder systems under GMP | Improves free‑flow behavior and reduces clumping in powders | FAO GSFA — Magnesium carbonate |
*Doses vary by formulation and target population.
Mechanistic highlights
- Acid neutralization: Reacts with gastric/food acids to form Mg²⁺, CO₂, and water
- Poor water solubility: Remains largely insoluble at neutral pH; solubility ↑ with acidity
- Powder flow / moisture uptake: Porous particles help absorb moisture and improve flowability
Safety & practical use
- Grade note: Light; Low solubility; grade-dependent bulk density
- Usual supplemental range: 50–200 mg elemental Mg/day across diet/supplements
- Upper‑dose tolerance: High single doses may cause GI upset; split dosing preferred
- Drug interactions: May chelate with some drugs (e.g., tetracyclines); separate dosing
- Populations needing oversight: Renal impairment, electrolyte disorders, and those on interacting medications
