When you have a serious condition with your intestines. Consult your physician immediately if you experience this.
No it does not. Magnesium citrate and sodium phosphate are two different compounds.
Magnesium citrate yielded from the chemical reaction of magnesium carbonate and citric acid.
you get water and magnesium citrate Mg(OH)2 + C6H8O6 = 2H20 + C6H6MgO6
Magnesium is the pure element, however it is not found in nature by itself, it always bonds with another element. So you have many forms of magnesium such as magnesium Aspartate, bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Citrate, Gluconate, Glycinate, Hydroxide, Lactate, Malate, Orotate, Oxide, Phophate, Picolinate, Propionate, Stearate, Sulfate and Taurate, to name a few. All these different forms have one other element that they are bonded with magnesium + citric acid = magnesium citrate for instance. These different forms of magnesium have two specific qualities A. they have percentage of actual elemental magnesium i.e. how much of the combination is actual pure magnesium e.g. magnesium carbonate is 45% actual magnesium, where as magnesium sulfate is only 10% actual magnesium B. they have a rough percentage of bioavailability (how absorbable and thus useable they are for the body). For instance magnesium citrate is 90% bioavailable and so most of it could be potentially used and absorbed by the body. Magnesium oxide for instance is only 4% bioavailable for the body and so if one took magnesium oxide which had 100mg of actual magnesium in it, there would only be 4mg that the body could possible use. Let me know if this answers your question. Kind Regards, Fifty Pence
explain what is meant by the suspension of magnesium hydroxide
Magnesium citrate is used as a laxative to relieve constipation. Magnesium is important to muscle and nerve health, but plays no role in digestion.
Magnesium citrate is a laxative that is used to relieve constipation or to cleanse the bowel before surgery. Yes, drinking magnesium citrate can cause you to lose weight because of severe diarrhea. However, it should not be taken for weight loss purposes.
technically yes, but far less than 1g per 10fl oz (as per mag citrate otc laxative)
Yes, you can drink a magnesium citrate solution to stimulate bowel movements. Follow directions (drink lots of water over a period of several hours, before drinking the magnesium citrate - it will work much better that way).
Magnesium citrate pulls water into the bowls. Too much magnesium citrate = many visits to the bathroom.

Don't know about magnesium citrate, but magnesium tablets sure did, in my case.
laxative
No it does not. Magnesium citrate and sodium phosphate are two different compounds.
Magnesium is used as a laxative, but really I recommend to manage the cause of constipation is better than use a laxative for prolonged time
Can Fleet Magnesium Citrate for a Colonoscopy cause Kidney Failure?
Magnesium Citrate: When Your Best Just Isn't Good EnoughGive a patient a glass full of ice-cold cherry flavored mag citrate and a straw, tell 'em to drink it fast, and then...stand back. You'll hear their bowel sounds from the doorway. Mag citrate is a saline laxative--the difference between it and milk of mag is volume. More volume equals more water equals more...well, you get the idea. I love mag citrate, though it should be used with extreme caution in people with electrolyte imbalances. It'll cure what ails you, for sure.Good Luck!Vrij
