Mg-protoporphyrin, also known as magnesium protoporphyrin or mgproto, is a member of the class of compounds known as metalloporphyrins. Metalloporphyrins are polycyclic compounds containing a porphyrin moiety and a metal atom. Mg-protoporphyrin is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Mg-protoporphyrin can be found in a number of food items such as flaxseed, sweet orange, agave, and peach (variety), which makes mg-protoporphyrin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
