Digestive Aid Actives
SPI Pharma has several types of magnesium to fit your manufacturing process and digestive aid formulation. Our technical staff can assist in the selection of the product that will run the most effectively for you.
The laxative effect of magnesium appears to come through two different mechanisms. Magnesium relaxes the muscles in the intestines which help to establish a smoother rhythm. Magnesium also attracts water; this increased amount of water in the colon serves to soften the stool, helping to make stools easier to pass.
Determine which products best suit your formulation using the Product Overview or by exploring the appropriate product pages below. As always, our sales and technical teams are ready to assist you with any questions that arise. Your journey to formulation success starts here.
