For best absorption I think Chelated minerals are the best -- I like and use Carlson and Solgar.

I have heard for best absorbtion magnesium chloride is best sprayed on the skin or taken orally as a liquid "magnesium for life"can tell you more about it. I don't think you can overdose on it, you may just have diarrhea if you have too much or itching in the area.
I bought mine online but that's the one you spray on.
The ocean minerals I normally have a bath in and I cannot find the oral one on that website, but I will post another reply of the oral liquid. I found the magnesium spray particularly good for a chronic shoulder problem I have had for years and GP's offered cortizone injections, therapeutic ultra-sounds etc and neither worked. The magnesium did. It makes you wonder who the researcher/professional is here. Most of the time I find you search for and find your own remedies for any illness. Anyway

yodle,
I did a search and read about using magnesium chloride both as a liquid and as a tablet for use orally. It sounds great and certainly worth trying.
I will order some from vitacost. I have never heard of using minerals as a spray on but I am open to it's use.
Thanks for the information,
Harry

I use magnesium oil (buy it by the gallon) in a bath (or you can do foot soaks) and I also spray it on the skin after the bath (cut with a bit of water). Transdermal is considered the best absorption for mag.

jenj,
Your message is very interesting.
I have never used magnesium oil. Never even heard of it. So, your experience is Way beyond mine. Does it have some special absoption characteristic so that it can be tested and you then know that it is being readily absorbed? Or, is it tested like most -- by blood work? Also, does it's use take away localized pain like magnesium chloride is suppose to do?
I have always used an oral supplement -- after much searching I settled on Chelated Magnesium that is well absorbed. I use Carlson mostly-- their minerals including magnesium is double bonded to a protein amino acid making it smaller for better intestined absorption. The process is Internationally Patented by Albion Labs and is furnished to manufacturers for distribution-- Albion's name is on the bottle if it it is made by their process.
I know magnesium is an anti-bacterial mineral since Epson salt (magnesium sulphate) is used as a soaking solution as well as a laxative. I have also used it in the past for both but never thought of it being absorbed by the skin as a supplement type of magnesium.
Also, since magnesium is in every cell of the body and 2/3(67%) of it is in your bones. How does a person test it at the celluar level? I have only had my blood tested for it's serum content.
Sorry for all the Questions!!
Thanks-- you have certainly perked my interest since it is believed that 75 to 80% of people are deficient with this important mineral.

Hi Harry,

Does it have some special absoption characteristic so that it can be tested and you then know that it is being readily absorbed? Or, is it tested like most -- by blood work? Yes, I would think so but don't know for sure ( see 5th paragraph below for more ideas about this Also, does it's use take away localized pain like magnesium chloride is suppose to do? Yes
I have always used an oral supplement -- after much searching I settled on Chelated Magnesium that is well absorbed I have also used chelated glycinate mag which I think is the best of the oral mag products.

Sorry for all the Questions!! No Problemo! Also my mag oil is from Health and Wellness so, you know, a wealth of information is available "out there".
Thanks-- you have certainly perked my interest since it is believed that 75 to 80% of people are deficient with this important mineral. I agree!

I've been getting good results from magnesium citrate.
