Magnesium gluconate

Magnesium (Mg, atomic number: 12) is present in medications in the form of various inorganic and organic salts, e.g. as magnesium chloride, magnesium gluconate, magnesium citrate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium glutamate, magnesium glycerophosphate and magnesium orotate.The salts differ amongst other things in their solubility, their bioavailability and the share of elemental magnesium that each contains. One also makes a distinction between organic (with carbon) and inorganic (e.g. magnesium chloride).
