Default Question on magnesium content

I take a multi-mineral daily. I think it is a good product, but I question the type of magnesium listed. It is ambiguous to me. It lists the following:

Magnesium (as magnesium oxide, taurinate, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, aspartate)† 500 mg

† Country Life always labels minerals in elemental weight.

I know magnesium oxide is not abosrbed well in the human body. I wonder what the distribution is bewteen the different types. Has anyone run into this before? Does the dosage seem correct for daily use? Any thoughts are appreciated.

FYI- here is a link of the product for further reference

Thanks!
