Magnesium and psyllium

[Squiggle4]

Taking 1200mg a day of magnesium seems to help but unreliably (only when I eat lots of fibre) and this was also the case for psyllium (only worked when I had coffee too). If I take the psyllium in the evening the magnesium doesn't work at all though - could this be because the fibre prevents its absorption? If so, would it be a good idea to take psyllium in the morning and magnesium at night?

You should take the magnesium at night after not eating for a few hours. Magnesium works best on a empty stomach with lots of water if you are using it for constipation. I find that psyllium doesn't work for me as it makes me bloated, but if works for you then take it in the morning perhaps.

What type of mg are you taking. Is it mg citrate?
