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.

Because of taking Oxycontin and Oxycodone (percocet) have terrible constipation. For over a year now, I have been taking about 2 tbls. daily of Phillips Milk of Magnesia. I wasn't sure if this was adding to my having additional magnesium in my system. If I understand what you are saying, this is not adding anything extra to my bloodstream. I had wondered if this might be overdoing the magnesium.
