Magnesium gluconate, with the chemical formula Mg(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂, is an organic salt formed from magnesium and gluconic acid. It is a white to off-white, odorless powder or crystalline solid, often encountered as a hydrate (e.g., dihydrate, Mg(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂·2H₂O). Highly bioavailable, it is one of the most readily absorbed forms of magnesium, making it a preferred choice for … Read more
Description Magnesium lactate, with the chemical formula Mg(C₃H₅O₃)₂, is an inorganic salt derived from magnesium and lactic acid, often encountered as a dihydrate (Mg(C₃H₅O₃)₂·2H₂O) or trihydrate form. It is a white, crystalline powder that serves as a bioavailable source of magnesium, an essential mineral for bodily functions such as heart rhythm, nerve transmission, and muscle … Read more
Description Magnesium bromide (MgBr₂) is an inorganic ionic compound consisting of magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) and bromide anions (Br⁻). It exists in anhydrous form as a white, crystalline solid and is highly hygroscopic, readily absorbing moisture from the air to form hydrates such as magnesium bromide hexahydrate (MgBr₂·6H₂O), where the hydration level (x in MgBr₂·xH₂O) can … Read more
Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is an inorganic ionic compound composed of one magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and two fluoride anions (F⁻), with the chemical formula MgF₂. It appears as a white, crystalline solid and is naturally occurring as the mineral sellaite. Known for its high transparency to ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light, magnesium fluoride is a … Read more
Magnesium nitrate, with the chemical formula Mg(NO₃)₂, is an inorganic salt composed of magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) and nitrate anions (NO₃⁻). It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, often forming hydrates such as magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO₃)₂·6H₂O). This compound is commonly encountered in its hydrated … Read more
The term calcium phosphate refers to a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called calcium phosphates contain oxide and hydroxides as well. Calcium phosphates are white solids of nutritional value and are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth enamel. In milk, it exists in a colloidal form in micelles bound to casein protein … Read more
Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite. It is a white solid with low solubility in water. Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia. Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) Structure The structure of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂, can be described … Read more
Magnesium sulfate or magnesium sulphate is a chemical compound, a salt with the formula MgSO₄, consisting of magnesium cations Mg²⁺ and sulfate anions SO2−4. It is a white crystalline solid, soluble in water but not in ethanol. Magnesium sulfate is generally considered environmentally friendly, especially when compared to other salts like magnesium chloride for de-icing, … Read more
Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂) is an ionic compound formed by magnesium (Mg²⁺) and chlorine (Cl⁻) ions. It forms hydrates MgCl₂·nH₂O, where n can range from 1 to 12. These salts are colorless or white solids that are highly soluble in water. These compounds and their solutions, both of which occur in nature, have a variety of … Read more
