† 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!
I recommend reading Dr. Carolyn Dean's book on Magnesium before buying anything. It's too important a mineral to make mistakes on type and dosage.

Bath-absorbed Mg is the most powerful Mg I've ever found. I would never rely on a supplement for all the Mg I need.
