I got great help here re: my constipation issue. I am going to start taking Magnesium citrate. What dose do you find successful? Thanks folks. You rock.
Magnesium Citrate dose: I got great... - Atrial Fibrillati...
Magnesium Citrate dose
The dose will be on the bottle and will depend upon the percentage of magnesium citrate in the formulation. If it isn't clear, always check with a pharmacist. All magnesium laxatives must be taken with a full glass (250ml) of water.
When needed, I take 30-45ml of Milk of Magnesia before bed (this is magnesium hydroxide suspension, containing 415mg / 5ml). It has never failed to work well with very little side effects of stomach cramping, but it can cause looseness.

hi
I buy NuU magnesium citrate capsules, vegan, on Amazon. Normally I take just one in the evening with water but if I have become dehydrated and then constipated I take 2 capsules, and the next day things get back to normal.
300mg per day keeps me right
Possibly the best practice is to gradually increase the dose until you get the runs, and then cut back a little. I am taking two a day which adds up to 840mg (Solgar 420mg tablets). 420mg is, according to their label, 100% of the RDA. Works for me for a couple of years now.
