The form of magnesium in Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide, and not well absorbed into the blood stream.

Various types of magnesium have different absorption potential.
This is called bioavailability.

There are special tests for intracellular nutrient content. Special labs like Spectracell do these tests.

Typical medical testing only shows serum content, not the content inside cells.
