Epsom salts are rich in both sulfates and magnesium.  These will both be easily absorbed through the skin.

Epsom Salt Instructions:

1. Dissolve 1 to 2 cups of Epsom salts in a hot bath to produce a mineral water treatment for your body.
2. Soaking for at least 12 minutes about 3 times a week is the standard protocol for Epsom salt uses.
3. Soaking in an Epsom salt bath allows both magnesium and sulfates to be absorbed through your skin.

These salts were discovered there hence the name - Epsom salts.

Soaking in an Epsom salt bath can pull toxins from your cells and it is best not to use any kind of soap or bubbles when taking an Epsom salt bath.

And by the way, sulfates are not the same as sulfites. Sulfates are mineral salts that contain sulfur. 

To have the best experience, be sure to filter out the chlorine from your bath water by using a good water filter.

Yep, that's right Chocolate!  Chocolate is known to contain a very high amount of magnesium.

Unfortunately, chocolate is also very high in oxalic acid which when eaten in excess will create pain in your body.

Be sure that you buy chocolate that is organic and find out if it was properly fermented which helps to lower oxalic acid.

And if you eat chocolate on a regular basis, you may want to be sure that you are getting enough of the right type of probiotics in your diet that can deal with oxalic acid.

Organic magnesium is considered a soluble form of magnesium and Inorganic magnesium is considered an insoluble form.

Organic magnesium supplements include Malate, Citrate, and Orotate.

Inorganic magnesium supplements include Carbonate, Sulfate, and Chloride.

Organic magnesium is some of the best supplemental sources of magnesium - which does include food BTW.

This form of magnesium is better absorbed and retained by your body than most Inorganic magnesium.

Magnesium chloride that is extracted from sea water - may be the most easily absorbed of all the inorganic types of magnesium.

And, Magnesium oil that is made with magnesium chloride which occurs naturally in the ocean and in some ancient sea beds may also be very effective.

Chelated magnesium is considered a more soluble form of magnesium and is one of the more easily absorbed types of magnesium supplements available.

Chelated magnesium is often chelated with an organic molecule such as an amino acid which allows magnesium to enter your system through your intestinal wall through the amino acid pathway.

Amino acid chelated magnesium is generally very effective supplemental sources of magnesium. 

Good examples of effective amino acid chelated magnesium are Magnesium Taurate and Magnesium Glycinate.

However, be careful of the other ingredients or additives that may go into these supplements - less is best.

Magnesium Glutamate - this form of magnesium will break down into glutamic acid or MSG.

Magnesium Aspartate - this form of magnesium will break down into aspartic acid which is a component of aspartame.

Both of these can be very harmful to you - especially your brain cells!

You might want to seek the help of a physician if you suffer from Kidney problems, are Pregnant, are Nursing, or take Medications before taking a magnesium supplement or using Epsom salts.

There can be side effects or complications under certain circumstances when supplementing with magnesium.

For many people, loose stools would be a common side effect of magnesium supplementation.

Note: It may take your body 6 weeks to months to replenish its supply of magnesium, but it may be worth your while to look into one of these supplemental sources of magnesium.
