Any supplement listing magnesium oxide + other types, will turn out to be mostly oxide.
Try to find one without oxide listed. Oxide is not absorbed we know now from studies, and remains in the bowel and acts like a laxative. It is a waste unless you are constipated.
To get into the blood stream you need chloride form delayed release called SlowMag, or its generic ... OR
a chelate that is listed alone. (no oxide with it). I have called manufacturers of supplements when oxide is listed with other ingredients and they cannot tell you what the ratios are in those mixtures. Assume it is oxide. Oxide is cheap and is used in most supplements.
citrate
gluconate
malate
taurate
lactate
carbonate
are examples of chelates.
