What is the effect of the magnesium hydroxide in Comfort Eze?
Magnesium hydroxide present in the composition has the effect of counteracting the constipative effect that often accompanies the ingestion of calcium carbonate. Furthermore, from a dietary standpoint, the alkaline substances also provide calcium, potassium, and magnesium, minerals for which the Food and Drug Administration has proposed minimum daily requirements. Magnesium hydroxide supplements the neutralizing effect of the potassium hydroxide, and is the second most active neutralizer. Calcium carbonate acts as a weak neutralizer, but also serves as a diluent to provide a convenient application quantity of the composition, and as a calcium source. The combination of these ingredients of the composition provides a highly effective acid neutralizer.
