I know that magnesium chloride is used in nutrition, but not exactly in what applications. A suggestion is to have the nutritional applications, indications, contraindications, sources, dose, etc added to this type of page, or a link made available. BAK (82.55.64.83 12:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Move

I propose that the second word in the title be written in lowercase because of the following:

  1. As far as I have ever seen, compounds aren't capitalized, especially not the anion in an ionic compound
  2. The wikipedia manual of style says this is the preferred/accepted way
  3. None of the other members of the Magnesium compounds category have capitalized anion names (I haven't checked other compound categories)

Support strongly! This page was erroneously moved by a new Wikipedian last month (see User_talk:Infralite for my follow up), I just got distracted and never initiated the move. a couple of thousand articles with chemical substance names, and all use lower case for the second word.

Done immediately! Wim van Dorst 19:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC).

[edit] ELRQ: Elaboration request

How does one go about extracting it from seawater (preferably using easy to get tools / ingredients ) ?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.15.241 (talk • contribs) 11:01, December 26, 2007

[edit] Replacing chembox with chembox new

The information regarding the hydrates has all been moved across- multiple compounds in the chem box will cause problems in future if links to other databases are introduced.--Axiosaurus (talk) 10:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Use in Polymerase Chain reaction

This baby is a critical cofactor for DNA (and RNA?) polymerases, and as such is used commercially in Polymerase chain reactions - this should definitely be addressed here. Apologies for my brevity, I'll be back Geno-Supremo (talk) 13:41, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
