Compost old magnesium supplement tablets?

7 years ago

What could be the best use for the very old expired and smelling magnesium supplement tablets? They contain also dextrose, cellulose, corn starch, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. Just don't want to throw them away. Perhaps throw them into a compost pile or spread them around the field?

Dextrose, cellulose, and cornstarch are carbohydrates.

Silicon dioxide is essentially sand.

Magnesium Stearate is a salt of Magnesium (a plant nutrient) and fatty acid.

Everything above is harmless to plants. I would blend the tablets and mix them with compost.
