Hello!

I would like to know where can i get pure magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2. I read can i use milk of magnesia and boiling it, but i believe there are more components in that substance. It's true?
If is not true, how can i get it?

Thank you!

It would depend on what you get. The ones containing flavoring additives are obviously not pure. What do you need to for?

I want to make some basic chemistry experiments and part of it is to get pure magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2.
