As a supplement, magnesium silicate acts by replacing the factor that is missing. In the case of antacids, it is a non-absorbable antacid whose main activity is related to the absorption of hydrochloric acid. More specifically, magnesium silicate acts as a neutralizing and astringent agent.
Magnesium silicate is used to absorb moisture, prevent caking, and to improve the feel of a product. In the pharmaceutical companies, it is used as a dietary supplement, as part of the formulation ingredients in drug production, in antacid and antiulcer preparations, as a component of antiepileptic drugs, in antifungal topical agents and in the treatment of acne and as a facial moisturizer. When complexed with arginine, magnesium silicate can be used as an antiatherosclerotic agent and to promote bone and cartilage formation in mammals.
