Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7142528

Magnesium propionate is soluble Magnesium salt, that can be used for prevention of hypoglycemia and ketonemia. Administration of magnesium propionate could counteract the hypoglycemia and hyperketonemia induced by tributyrin administration without significantly changing the insulin response
