Heart there are alternatives - you can find something in pill form.

i know what you mean. i have some, and it's too tart for me.

Look for Mg citrate in pill forms. Mg malate and Mg aspartate are also well absorbed forms. However long-term use of the aspartate in excess of 400 mg has been found to produce a risk of amino acid imbalance (aspartic acid is an amino acid).

Generally avoid the oxide and carbonate.
