Most supplements in stores are magnesium oxide...this is because it is cheap, people don't know better or doctors, and it allows for smaller tablet sizes.
But it is a waste to use it unless you are constipated. It is the main ingredient in Phillips Laxative tablets!
Most mixtures have the oxide form. So you will have to find a separate magnesium. A chelate like glycinate, or gluconate. SlowMag is delayed release chloride. There is a generic for SlowMag called Mag64, which is a bit less money.
SlowMag is at WalMart and you would start at one tablet twice a day. Calcium citrate-- CitraCal-- is a good calcium type.
