Many facets of mag.: most absorbable magnesium salts are mag.citrate,glycinate,taurate or aspartate. 60% of mag.oxide only contains elemental mag. Out of that only 23% is absorbed. Avoid mag.carbonate,sulphate,oxide & gluconate due to poor absorption.

Wrong question: If you are given this by a qualified MD for valid medical indication the Dr will prescribe the type and dose of Mg. If you are taking it for any other reason you are a fool. If a Dr advised you to take it, but the Dr failed to specify the form and dose, you need a better DR.
