Application

Magnesium hydroxide is used as a dietary supplement to study its effects on the absorbtion of factors such as folic acid and iron and the release of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin (CCK).

General description

Magnesium hydroxide is commonly used as a non-systemic antacid for treating acid-peptic disorders. It helps in the treatment kidney stones patients by reducing the recurrence rate.
