Bath with Magnesium Chloride probably better than Epsom Salts

Found lots of opinions and statements but unable to quickly find any good data - Jan 2019

Myth or Reality-Transdermal Magnesium? – July 2017

In Feb 2019 I purchased Oraganix Magnesium Salt Bath Flakes 8 lb, $15 Amazon

• "Magnesium Chloride is better absorbed than its counterpart Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)"
• "Dissolve 1-3 cups of the magnesium flakes into a warm footbath or full tub bath, and soak for 30 minutes or longer.
• ".Temperature of the water should be warm, but not hot. Hot water causes the skin to eliminate rather than absorb"

Note: Both baths and IV are not restricted by gut limitations
Intravenous (IV) Magnesium 2,000 mg - up to 8,000 mg – much faster than oral
Apparently MgCl is preferred over Mg Sulfate

Note: DMSO appears to greatly increase transdermal magnesium
Again, no data
