You do NOT put pure magnesium to your mouth, to taste it. Magnesium is a highly reactive metal, and will immediately react with the fluids in your mouth.
However, If ,say, you have acidosis/reflux/heartburn, then a proprietary medicine to take is 'Milk of Magnesia'. This is a solution of the magnesium salts, carbonate and hydroxide, and reacts with the excess stomach acid.
However, 'Milk of magnesia's', taste is very 'chalky'. Because magnesium carbonate can be thought of as the 'sister' chemical to calcium carbonate, which is chalk/limestone.
NB It is a rigorous laboratory rule that you NEVER put anything to your mouth/eat/drink/taste. This includes pure magnesium.
