A member asked:
Is vegetable magnesium stearate a magnesuim antacid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Antacids contain hydroxide which is an anion. Magnesium is a cation which can be coupled with the hydroxide to make an antacid. Other forms contain calcium (ie tums). Stearate is an anion but is not an antacid.
