Magnesium Oxide

Much like other types of magnesium, magnesium oxide has many health benefits. When used regularly, magnesium oxide can help boost low magnesium levels, relieve constipation, manage depression, treat migraines, and more.

Magnesium oxide is a type of magnesium mineral supplement that is mostly made of magnesium—it actually contains more magnesium than other magnesium supplements. Magnesium oxide is acquired by burning magnesium with pure oxygen, but this method is quite costly. The cheaper method is to expose oxygen to magnesium salts using underground deposits, seawater, or salt beds. With this method, the source of the magnesium salt determines the quality of the magnesium oxide that is produced.
