01 / 05 Stage 01

The trunk reaches its floor

Calcium oxide falls as low as ore selection and beneficiation take this oxide before the chemistry itself changes.

0.75 % CaO

02 / 05 Stage 02

MgVanta USP MgO 99 arrives

Manufactured to a USP-aligned specification. The purest point on the ladder.

99.0 % MgO, as ignited

03 / 05 Stage 03

Purity earns the label

The densest common magnesium salt. Light or heavy density, specified at quote, because your press expects one of them.

60.30 % elemental Mg

04 / 05 Stage 04

One thing purity cannot fix

Two lots can both read 99% and still behave differently in a press. That is why we specify reactivity, not only assay.

99 % MgO, both lots

05 / 05 Stage 05

Note

Manufactured to a USP-aligned specification for magnesium oxide. Conformance testing against the monograph is available on request. The certificate of analysis states exactly which tests have been performed on your lot. Specify light or heavy grade at the time of quote: the two are not interchangeable in a tablet press, and the certificate states the bulk density. Antacid drug use and dietary supplement use sit under different US frameworks, and the requirements follow your finished product.

Milled magnesia.
