Hmm, I think I'd toss that and start over.
First, are you sure it doesn't say it's "Magnesium (from magnesium oxide)" on the back? Because all the Nature Made magnesiums that I've ever seen are magnesium oxide. Post a pic of the back of the bottle and let's see.
Second, I'm not sure you want stearate in your mag supplement. Google magnesium stearate for more info on that. E.g.

There are a lot of good mag glycinates, taurates and malates out there (check amazon), I'd go for one of those (or a combo of those) instead.
