Magnesium Stearate is a widely used pharmaceutical excipient that acts as a lubricant in tablet and capsule manufacturing. It prevents ingredients from sticking to production equipment and ensures smooth tablet compression. As an inactive ingredient, it enhances the consistency, flowability, and stability of formulations. Magnesium Stearate is non-toxic and commonly used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and food products. Its hydrophobic nature helps control drug dissolution rates, improving product performance.
