I would expect extremely poor bioavailability for dead-burned magnesium oxide. It's called "dead" burned because it has very low chemical reactivity when it's been heated that intensely.
- kragen 3y agodon't eat the not-dead-burned version; the most common kind is as caustic as lye and will cripple you for life by burning your esophagus 'very low chemical reactivity' turns out, in context, not to mean that it resists being digested by stomach acid, so the bioavailability of the dead-burned type is just fine; this experiment came up with a figure of 43% https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2407766/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2407766/ if it were 4% or 0.4% i would agree
