burtlan, help me become you.
I have more questions than answers.
With oral supplementation you have more control of the dose (excess isn't absorbed), but at the same time it can cause indigestion. Perhaps small doses spread throughout the day. The problem isolating it from meals is that even when the lab analysis of the product shows that it's relatively clean of heavy metals, you take a considerable amount: with trace elements it isn't as much of a problem as it's for electrolytes. The contamination adds up when you ingest grams of the product a day, lead is usually a concern with magnesium.
Like I mentioned before, the skin should be a better filter for those things than the intestines, at least in theory, because picking your food is already the first screening for discarting what's not desirable. But then comes the problem with forcing minerals in the body in a "deal with it" fashion. It's difficult to control.

natedawwgh mentioned there chloride affecting bicarbonate. It got me thinking that Mark Sircus is one of the main names spreading the word on magnesium supplementation, the guy even suggests massages using it, but the other part of the story is that he also advocates sodium bicarbonate, which is often overlooked. Magnesium chloride that we use is only 12% magnesium, chloride for some reason is simply ignored as if it didn't affect anything.

"The water‐soluble MgCl2 is converted in the duodenum to magnesium bicarbonate by the following formulation: MgCl2 + 2NaHCO3 → Mg(HCO3)2 + 2NaCl. Yamasaki et al.9 reported that magnesium bicarbonate produced in the duodenum increases the osmotic pressure within the intestines, stimulates water exudation and softens the stool, which leads to laxative effect of magnesia."
If hypothyroidism is indeed marked by a great loss of sodium, magnesium chloride and its potential laxative effect is a cause of concern, perhaps even more sodium is excreted, and also affecting bicarbonate levels in a negative way.

"A constant exchange of chloride and bicarbonate, between red blood cells and the plasma helps to govern the pH balance and transport of carbon dioxide"
Excess minerals, if not enough to cause a discharge, can feed problematic microbes in the intestines before they are absorbed. I also posted a group of researchers activating dormant bacteria with iron but also magnesium. Excess minerals are also incorporated into biofilms, if you believe that it's a cause of concern.
