Magnesium levulinate is not widely used or specifically approved in contemporary medicine, with common preparations including magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, or magnesium citrate being more prevalent.
No referenced publication or clinical pharmacokinetic studies reporting parameters for magnesium levulinate in humans or animals could be found. The following pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated based on reported properties of other orally administered magnesium salts.
