They have oxygen.

No. they don't both have oxygen, Magnesium Oxide has composed of well, magnesium (1) and oxygen. While Sodium chloride or table salt, is composed of sodium and chlorine (like the stuff in the pools)

But even though they are enitrely different compounds, they are both ingested. Or used in alot of peoples lives. Magnesium oxide is a drug though. I wouldn't want to sprinkle that on a steak.
