Magnesium Stearate

Magnesium stearate is a salt that is produced when a magnesium ion bonds with two stearate molecules.

Magnesium stearate is most commonly used in supplement manufacturing as a ‘flow agent,’ which helps ensure that the equipment runs smoothly and the ingredients stay blended together in the correct proportions.

Magnesium stearate is often used as an disintegrating in the medical tablets. It also helps in reducing the wear and tear of tablet forming machinery since it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets; magnesium stearate is the most commonly used lubricant for tablets. Magnesium stearate can also be used efficiently in mineral coating
