You can get ionized magnesium, which works fast. Like Ionic Fizz or a delayed release like SlowMag (generic Mag64) or any chelated form (glycinate, lactate, or malate, citrate).

Some people are sensitive to magnesium (like me) so I tend to use the SlowMag generic which I get very low in price from my local Costco --around $5 for a months supply of 60 --ask at the pharmacy and they will order it for you if they don't already have it. WalMart sells it too, at the pharmacy counter.

I also use the Ionic Fizz because you can control the dose if you get loose. It comes with a little scoop.

Magnesium, Zinc and Calcium are not 100% absorbed anyway.
But by choosing a good form, you stand a better chance of getting most of it in. The oxide is dramatically poor. Like 8mg from a 400mg tablet estimate!

You can also buy a cream and get it that way:

100mg/gram measure.
