Hi Bryan.
I've experimented with several magnesiums myself. What I found is that spray on magnesium products work faster and better than oral magnesium supplements. Trying to do high doses of oral magnesium would give me diarrhea. I've confirmed that this is common with most people. The topical stuff didn't cause this problem.
Some of the spray on magnesiums I tried were unpleasant and uncomfortable. I ended up sticking with a product that says it contains "magnesium chloride hexahydrate". I found this one to be the most comfortable and fastest acting.
I live in North America so it's pretty easy to get it here. You mentioned you live in the UK, so I found a shop in the UK that has it. They're called Aggressive Health. In the US, a company called Sunfood has a really good one too.
I've used this one for a few years and it always gets rid of my muscle twitches every time I put it on.
