Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Sulfate: A Genuine Question

This 2005 review compares the clinical and pharmacological profiles of magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) and magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). While both compounds deliver magnesium ions, MgCl₂ demonstrates superior absorption, cellular penetration, and retention. Additionally, MgCl₂ exhibits lower tissue toxicity and more favorable membrane and antihypoxic properties. The authors suggest that MgCl₂ may

Absorption of Oral Progesterone is Influenced by Vehicle and Particle Size

This clinical trial examined how oral progesterone absorption is influenced by formulation, specifically particle size and vehicle type. Seven subjects received a 200 mg dose of progesterone in different formulations: plain milled, micronized, plain milled in oil, micronized in oil, and micronized in enteric-coated capsules. Serum progesterone levels were measured
