Magnesium Trisilicate BP is a fine, white to off-white, odorless powder used primarily as an antacid and adsorbent. It is a hydrated magnesium salt of orthosilicic acid with excellent acid-neutralizing capacity. Classified under the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), it meets pharmaceutical-grade purity standards. Its high surface area and adsorptive properties make it useful in treating gastrointestinal discomfort, as well as in various industrial and food applications. It is insoluble in water and alcohol but reacts slowly with dilute acids.

Carbocisteine AJI 92
Carbocisteine AJI 92 is a high-purity pharmaceutical-grade amino acid derivative, chemically known as S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slightly sulfurous odor and is freely soluble in water. Carbocisteine functions primarily as a mucolytic agent—reducing the viscosity of mucus and promoting expectoration in respiratory tract infections. The "AJI 92" specification refers to its compliance with the purity standards established by Ajinomoto's amino acid quality benchmarks, ensuring it meets stringent pharmaceutical-grade quality control for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is widely used in oral syrups, tablets, and granules in both human and veterinary medicine.
