Magnesium is amazing, but it isn't the only deficiency contributing to depression. Others include sunlight, vitamin D, water and yellow foods(Don Tolman suggested it). If you are taking and doing everything else well then magnesium is best taken in the form of Magnesium Chloride (MgCl) through the skin. Pills and tablets are mainly MgO and some suggest it might actually reduce your ability to uptake magnesium naturally because it combines with HCl in the stomach to produce MgCl and water which leads many to have a bowel purge. The body tries to convert all forms of magnesium into MgCl. This might not be the most bioavailable but certainly the most efficient when taken through the skin. To take more in you need enough fats on the skin, so magnesium oil and create an itch and feel uncomfortable. There are Magnesium Creams out there to illiminate the itch from high concentration mag oils, with all natural ingredients. MgCl is the most abundant form found in the planet because it is found in all the oceans. The oceans however are quite toxic so you need to find a food grade magnesium chloride salt with a mineral analysis to show the mercury and lead concentrations. Magnesium is water soluble so to take more and store more you need to be well hydrated with fluoride and chlorine free water. Fluoride, sugar, stress, alcohol, and other chemical, emotional and physical stresses will take out a lot of magnesium from your system.
