What is Magnesium Carbonate? – Overview and Key Benefits

Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO₃) is a high-purity inorganic magnesium compound widely used in food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications. It is available as a fine white, odorless powder with excellent thermal stability, controlled particle size, and long shelf life.

In food and nutraceutical formulations, Magnesium Carbonate acts as an anti-caking agent, acidity regulator, and magnesium source. In pharmaceuticals, it is commonly used as an antacid, tablet diluent, and excipient. Industrial-grade Magnesium Carbonate finds applications in rubber, ceramics, cosmetics, flame retardants, inks, adhesives, and polymer processing.

Its superior moisture-absorbing capacity, excellent whiteness, low heavy metal content, and consistent purity make it suitable for applications requiring high safety and functional performance. Our Magnesium Carbonate complies with FCC, USP, EP, and E-number (E504) regulations, making it export-ready for global markets.
