magnesium oxide
Antacid mineral supplement
Magnesium oxide is a white powder compound of magnesium and oxygen, used in antacids, laxatives, and as a refractory material that withstands high temperatures.
In supplements, it addresses magnesium deficiency.
Industrial applications include fireproofing and electrical insulation.
Also called magnesia.
