What are the side effects of magnesium?

Answer 1

Well, I found out the hard way that magnesium stearate dries out my eyes while I am sleeping! How do I know this? I have trouble when I take capsules that have magnesium stearate in them, and I don't when I don't take such capsules. The more I take capsules with magnesium stearate, the worse it gets. I stopped taking all encapsulated herbs and the problem with dry eyes at night totally cleared up. As soon as I started taking any with magnesium stearate, I started having trouble again. Not only that, but it appears that magnesium stearate also dries out my skin. I have a Staphylococcus aureus infection in the skin around my ankles, and it is a huge problem. I make real progress toward healing when I don't take capsules, but taking capsules sets me back.

Think of it this way. Magnesium stearate is used to keep powders that go into capsules from caking. What causes caking? Moisture! So the purpose is to keep the powders dry so they flow freely. And incidentally, magnesium stearate also coats the particles and cuts their absorption and efficacy to about 1/4 of what it should be.

I looked for this information on the internet and I have been unable to find it. It's time someone spoke out. I will be writing to all the supplement companies begging them NOT to use magnesium stearate in their products.

The other thing they need to stop using are these artificial vegetarian capsules. The two of them together is a double whammy.

According to my research, other side effects can include the following:

1. Decreased Absorption. A tablet without magnesium stearate has a 90% absorption rate. A tablet with magnesium stearate only has a 25% - 30% absorption rate.

2. It is an immunosuppressor, specifically affecting T-cells.

3. It may cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines.

Your information is incorrect. Magnesium Stearate is used in thousands of products. And there is no such thing as an "artificial" vegetarian capsule. Capsules are either made from plant material and thus veggie or made for animal material and thus not.
