• MIXING

  Magnesium Oxide Fine has no known incompatibilities, but is insoluble in water so cannot be administered through the drinking water. If Magnesium Oxide Fine is to be mixed into suspension with Lime Flour the magnesium oxide should be suspended in water and left to stand for at least several hours before the Lime Flour is added
