* Magnesium chloride (MgCl2): Found in sea water and used in fire extinguishers, de-icing agents, and food additives.
* Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4): Known as Epsom salts, used in bath salts, laxatives, and for treating magnesium deficiencies.
* Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2): Found in antacids and laxatives.
* Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3): Used in antacids, dietary supplements, and as a fire retardant.
