  Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University
Magnesium deficiency in healthy individuals who are consuming a balanced diet is quite rare because magnesium is abundant in both plant and animal foods and because the kidneys are able to limit urinary excretion of magnesium when intake is low.
Intestinal magnesium absorption tends to decrease with age and urinary magnesium excretion tends to increase with age; thus, suboptimal dietary magnesium intake may increase the risk of magnesium depletion in the elderly (4).
Magnesium supplements are available as magnesium oxide, magnesium gluconate, magnesium chloride, and magnesium citrate salts, as well as a number of amino acid chelates, including magnesium aspartate.

 Magnesium oxide in Australia
Magnesium oxide (magnesia, MgO) is a white powder broadly similar to calcium oxide (lime, CaO) and is rarely found in nature as such but more commonly as the carbonate form including the less common mineral complex with calcium carbonate (carnallite).
Magnesium oxide is the principal input for the magnesium compounds industry, refractories and for insulating elements in electric furnaces.
Magnesium oxide is required by BHP to about 8 000 tonnes pa when in full production of 2.5million tonnes; by Cawse about 5 000 tonnes increasing to 15 000 tonnes and planned by Comet Resources at Ravensthorpe to 20 000 tonnes.

Magnesium sulfate - magnesium citrate (used as laxative) - magnesium oxide - magnesium chloride - magnesium stearate (usually found as one of the fillers and binders in capsules) - magnesium hydroxide - magnesium glycinate - magnesium carbonate - magnesium taurate - magnesium gluconate.
High levels of magnesium in the diet may lower a woman's risk of developing colon cancer but it is difficult to tell whether the benefit is due to magnesium intake rather than some related factor.
Magnesium orotate dihydrate is poorly soluble in water and hence does not bind gastric acid nor does it exhibit noteworthy laxative effects upon oral administration in contrast to easily dissociable magnesium salts.

Three basic types or grades of "burned" magnesium oxide can be obtained from the calcination step with the differences between each grade related to the degree of reactivity remaining after being exposed to a range of extremely high temperatures.
Using relatively simple chemistry it is also possible to add certain ingredients to magnesium oxide to generate a broad range of new magnesium based compounds.
