Phillips tablets are magnesium oxide.
You can also apply magnesium as a lotion. CVS makes one called
Epsom lotion. There is another online available from some suppliers called Epsom-It...but it tends to be more expensive.
Oral forms should be a chelate, like gluconate, citrate, carbonate, lactate, etc. The gluconate one is called Magonate.
SlowMag is a chloride in delayed release, which allows for lower dosing twice a day. They have this at most WalMarts.
3oz of unsalted almonds have 270mg and getting magnesium from foods is an option.
