Your supplier for the pharmaceutical industry

High-quality components: Your basis for safe medicines

From our exten­si­ve port­fo­lio of magne­si­um, cal­ci­um, pot­as­si­um, sodium, zinc and other mine­ral com­pounds, we pro­vi­de you with the fol­lo­wing spe­ci­fic examp­les for your appli­ca­ti­ons in the phar­maceu­ti­cal industry:

Calcium carbonate against heartburn and acid regurgitation

    Description

    • Cal­ci­um car­bo­na­te is used as an ant­a­cid against heartb­urn and acid regur­gi­ta­ti­on. It neu­tra­li­zes sto­mach acid and ser­ves as a phos­pha­te bin­der in cases of hyper­phos­phat­aemia. As a source of cal­ci­um, it helps in the pre­ven­ti­on and tre­at­ment of cal­ci­um defi­ci­en­cy and osteoporosis.

    Product benefits

    • Available as natu­ral and pre­ci­pi­ta­ted cal­ci­um carbonate
    • Various bulk weights and also available as gra­nu­les — with and wit­hout binder
    • High-puri­ty pro­ducts, some qua­li­fied as acti­ve phar­maceu­ti­cal ingredients

    Magnesium hydroxide as an antacid and laxative

      Description

      • Magne­si­um hydr­o­xi­de is used as an ant­a­cid and laxa­ti­ve. It neu­tra­li­zes excess sto­mach acid, reli­e­ves heartb­urn and sto­mach pain and pro­mo­tes intesti­nal tran­sit. In hig­her doses, it acts as an osmo­tic laxa­ti­ve, sti­mu­la­ting the secre­ti­on of flu­id and intesti­nal motility.

      Product benefits

      • High-puri­ty pro­duct, qua­li­fied as an acti­ve phar­maceu­ti­cal ingredient
      • Exten­si­ve pro­duct docu­men­ta­ti­on available
      • Various bulk weights and also available as granules

      Magnesium oxide as an antacid and laxative

        Description

        • Magne­si­um oxi­de is used in phar­maceu­ti­cal pro­ducts as an ant­a­cid and laxa­ti­ve. It neu­tra­li­zes sto­mach acid, alle­via­tes indi­ges­ti­on and pro­mo­tes intesti­nal acti­vi­ty. It is also used to pre­vent and tre­at magne­si­um defi­ci­en­cy, which is important for car­dio­vas­cu­lar and neu­ro­mus­cu­lar health.

        Product benefits

        • Various bulk weights and also available as granules
        • High-puri­ty pro­ducts, some qua­li­fied as acti­ve phar­maceu­ti­cal ingredients

        Magnesium stearate in tablet production

          Description

          • Magne­si­um stea­ra­te is an important exci­pi­ent in tablet pro­duc­tion. It ser­ves as a lubri­cant that impro­ves gli­ding pro­per­ties and redu­ces fric­tion and adhe­si­on. This pre­vents the pow­der from sti­cking to the machi­nes, such as the punch during table­ting. It impro­ves the flowa­bi­li­ty of the pow­der and faci­li­ta­tes com­pres­si­on into tablets. As a hydro­pho­bic exci­pi­ent, it con­tri­bu­tes to the sta­bi­li­ty and homo­gen­ei­ty of tablets.

          Product benefits

          • Euro­pean ori­gin for bet­ter sup­p­ly security
          • Palm oil-free vari­ant or RSPO-cer­ti­fied available

              Description

              • Tal­cum is used in phar­maceu­ti­cal pro­ducts as a fil­ler, release agent, bin­der and lubri­cant. It impro­ves the pro­ces­sing pro­per­ties of tablets and cap­su­les by redu­cing fric­tion and incre­asing flowa­bi­li­ty. It also ser­ves as a base for pow­ders and pre­vents skin irritation.

              Product benefits

              • Very low con­tent of hea­vy metals (ana­ly­sis accor­ding to EP/ICH-Q3D)
