Magnesium sulphate is very inexpensive. I'm not sure what the tolerable dose would be, though. Here's a link that discusses doses of the various magnesium salts:
http://www.headachepainfree.com/magnesium_supplements.htm> Can magnesium chloride crystals be purchased in bulk somewhere on the internet, e.g. 2kg?
I don't know of a source. I know where to get magnesium ascorbate, though.
