Talk:reprecipitation
Original text, kept for background:
I was looking up vitamins and minerals online and found the word "reprecipitation" listed on this page:
Here is the text from the page:
Magnesium Salts
The in vitro solubility and in vivo GI absorbability of magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate were compared (Lindberg et al., 1990). The simulated gastric fluids represented five different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Magnesium citrate was significantly more soluble than magnesium oxide in all levels of acid secretion, but reprecipitation from magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate did not occur when the hydrochloric acid was titrated to a pH between 6 and 7, which is the pH of the distal small intestine where magnesium anions are absorbed. Absorption of the two magnesium formulations was also compared in vivo by measuring the rise in urinary magnesium levels, and the citrate form was absorbed to a much greater extent than the oxide.
Could someone help with the definition?
Thanks!
- I think this should help a bit; now to define elute. Also, your example statement was a little ambiguous. So, I replaced "this" with "neutral".

"countable and uncountable"
[edit]Makes it sens, that it is countable and uncountable? Should it be not just countable? Minihaa (talk) 11:22, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- I can find both, eg, "less reprecipitation" (uncountable) vs "fewer reprecipitations" (countable). DCDuring TALK 12:55, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
