Talk:Magnesium/Archive 2

Zero or not?
A passage under Organic Chemistry describes recent Mg(0) Compounds but the oxidation state templates do not all agree. Does the source need to be checked? Olthe3rd1 (talk) 00:09, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

The range for deficient adults should be edited from 2.5-15% to 2.5-45%.

Post-partum anxiety/depression
This revert was justified because the content is vague, unencyclopedic, and supported by only a primary source published in a predatory journal (MDPI is listed on WP:CITEWATCH). Wikipedia is not a journal for mentioning any biological possibility, WP:NOTJOURNAL #6-8. Wait for a WP:MEDSCI review. Zefr (talk) 21:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Detection in solution
The presence of magnesium ions can be detected by the addition of Ammonium chloride, Ammonium hydroxide and Monosodium phosphate to an aqueous or dilute HCl solution of the salt. The formation of a white precipitate indicates the presence of magnesium ions.

Azo violet dye can also be used which turns deep blue in the presence of an alkaline solution of magnesium salt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veer.V (talk • contribs) 13:00, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

"Magnesium-L-threonate" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Magnesium-L-threonate and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 July 21 until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Dietary source of Magnesium
In Biological Roles -> Nutrition -> Diet such a simple source of magnesium as drinking water (if it is "hard") is not mentioned. Moreover natural mineral waters rich in magnesium are considered as a valuable supplement with a number of health benefits. Heard that industry of bottled waters often deprives its customers of that source of magnesium due to deionization stage in the manufacturing process. However, I don't know, it may be better to add this information to the Magnesium in biology article. What do you think? Tosha Langue (talk) 06:23, 9 November 2022 (UTC)


 * That would be a large volume of water. Even hard water has only about 5mg/litre of Mg compared with a dietary requirement of c 300 mg per day.
 * Plants are very effective accumulators of Mg as it is an essential component of Chlorophyll. So a diet rich in plant products, especially green leafy products, is a much more effective source of Mg. However, your proposal and my response are both original research and not of any use in the article without reliable sources.  Velella  Velella Talk 08:30, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Of course, of course, I know the rules. Do these sources match the criteria:
 * https://magnesiumeducation.com/magnesium-in-drinking-water-sources/ (an educational article on a dot-com),
 * and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28228777/ (a free access review about chemical characteristics and health effects of mineral waters)?
 * And yes, you are right, @Velella, not just hard water, but where its hardness provided by Magnesium at a sufficient level. Tosha Langue (talk) 09:16, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * - sources for health benefits must be WP:MEDRS compliant. Neither of these sources makes the grade. The magnnesiumeducation.com source falls very far short and the other is a primary source. Regards  Velella  Velella Talk
