    You mean... chalk?

    You can get it at climbing/outdoor stores. Not sure if this would be considered 'medical grade' though.

    Just to be clear normal chalk (the rock, and as used on blackboards) is calcium carbonate, not magnesium, and won't help you maintain your eating disorder. Climbers' (or gymnasts') "chalk" is magnesium carbonate so might do the job.

    antacid has mgco3, check on the box on various antacid for concertration at a chemist for medical usage

    if you want it pure, assume not for medical consumption, ie, industrial usage, * i will not be responsible for any consequence if you ignore this advice disclaimer*

    called 碳酸鎂 (taan shuen mei/ magnesium carbonate)

    if mgco3 used as climbing chalk, ie, for grip, a mountaining climbing shop should sell it, maybe somewhere like

    http://www.chamonix.com.hk/

    http://www.yp.com.hk/wct/

    this place sells it as a chemcal

    I am not looking for chalk, am female (not male), and don't have an eating disorder. It is for a product I am making. Just need to know where to find it.
