I'd like to add to this thread that, magnesium in the form of OXIDE is not appreciably absorbed from the GI tract. It is used today as a laxative for this reason.
So read your labels and choose another form, either Chloride in long acting form or a chelate like glycinate, lactate, malate, etc.
Here is my magnesium thread:

On that thread are some suggestions for topical use now.
Some oils are on the market and there is the Kirkman cream that works nicely as well.
