Quicksilver Scientific Magnesium Hydroxide

Binders like activated charcoal and bentonite clay are effective at what they do, but they're also known for slowing things down on the way out. Magnesium Hydroxide is a straightforward way to keep things moving, whether you're pairing it with a binder protocol or just dealing with the GI disruption that comes with travel or a schedule change.

Magnesium Hydroxide delivers 700mg of magnesium hydroxide (266mg elemental magnesium) per two-capsule serving, using an osmotic mechanism to draw water into the intestines rather than stimulating contractions the way some other laxatives do.

Works With Your Gut, Not Against It – Magnesium hydroxide draws water into the intestines to soften stool and increase volume, rather than forcing contractions the way stimulant laxatives do, which tends to be gentler on your system overall.

Pairs Naturally With a Binder Routine – Since binders like activated charcoal and clay are known to slow things down, adding this alongside them can help offset that effect instead of leaving you to deal with it on your own.

A Simple, Single-Ingredient Capsule – Just magnesium hydroxide in a plant-based capsule, so there's nothing else to account for if you're already tracking several other supplements.

Magnesium Hydroxide delivers 700mg of magnesium hydroxide per two-capsule serving, providing 266mg of elemental magnesium. It works through an osmotic mechanism, drawing water into the intestines to increase stool volume and hydration, a different mechanism than stimulant laxatives that trigger intestinal contractions directly.

How to Use Magnesium Hydroxide

Dose: Take 2 capsules daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Note: This isn't intended for long-term daily use without medical guidance, and it can interact with certain antibiotics, so space it at least 2 hours from tetracycline or quinolone-class antibiotics if you're taking either. Talk to your physician before use if you have kidney disease, since magnesium can accumulate with impaired kidney function, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of children.
