4. Constipation and Digestive Issues
Magnesium acts as an osmotic laxative by drawing water into the intestines, which softens stools and promotes bowel movements. It also relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract, helping relieve constipation naturally.
How to Use Magnesium for Constipation:
Recommended Form: Magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate.
Dosage: 400–500 mg at night, only as needed. Start with a smaller dose to test tolerance.
Caution: Do not use magnesium laxatives for more than a few days consecutively without medical supervision.
