If you take a supplement with minerals, there’s often different forms but when it comes to actual food, its always just the isolated mineral.
How do you figure out what form each mineral takes? Like, foods that have a bunch of magnesium in it, what form of Mg is it usually? Oxide?
They should be in the ingredients list. Mine says, “Calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide…”
I mean like for foods where magnesium/mineral is not an ingredient so much as a constituent nutrient.
Like hemp seeds have a ton of magnesium. What form of magnesium or whatever mineral that is a natural part they’ve identified in it
I would check out Wikipedia.
Mg2+ ion, so whatever that is bound to in the cells of what you eat.
Interestingly, magnesium is found in every cell type in every known organism!
