   Mg content in MgO is approx 24/40.

   Weight for weight I'd expect MgCl2 to be worse at delivering Mg.   
      
   Mg content in MgCl2 is approx 24/95

   Chewing the metal would be unpleasant and you would burp hydrogen!   
      
   ISTR magnesium sulphate has a tendency to pass through rather quickly.   
      
   Like a dose of salts as they used to say (aka Epsom salts).
