If that is the product you bought, then you've got magnesium oxide, which has been found to be not very absorbable in some tests. Whether it will be absorbable to you is another question. Some people have found it worked. But if it doesn't, I would definitely try another brand.
Can you order online? Otherwise, you might ask your store owner to order something else for you.
You might also try bigger grocery store chains, as they might carry magnesium citrate. (But you don't want the liquid stuff.)
Then there's always food. Pumpkin seeds are one of the highest magnesium foods. http://www.whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=75

> I bought some chelated magnesium (250 mgs) by Country Life because a man at the health food store said it was the best they had (they don't carry the mag. taurate). It has cellulose, stearic acid, silica, cellulose coating, and magnesium stearate. Do you know how this compares to the magnesium taurate? I wanted to try this because I suffer from depression and my magnesium level is also low.
