Just to back up @snacks claim: I have benefited for years from copious usage of topical magnesium, and nearly everyone I have suggested it to has benefited from it. It saved my **** after Cipro wrecked my health and trying to increase mag through diet or mag glycinate, mag citrate, and mag oxide did nothing for me.
I'm going to be trialing magnesium bicarbonate solution for the first time tomorrow, and will be curious what I notice, if anything.
Also, I have used various brands of topical mag chloride and they all seem to work fine.
All that said, just because a bunch of people benefit from dramatically increasing their magnesium status, doesn't mean everyone will. The twitter poster seems to think we should base our nutritional needs on the mineral content of seawater...which seems to me like, just about, the dumbest thing I've ever read in over a decade of nutritional research.
Bicarbonate orally feels interesting. Have never tried it topically
