Want this question answered?
so magnesium citrate will flush thc out of my system, how long will it take
works the same for me.
My husband is in chemotherapy and he got a sheet from the actual doctor that says take Senakot, 2 tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia OR 1/2 bottle of Magnesium Citrate daily until bowel movement
I know that when I take Magnesium Citrate, I can't get out of the bathroom long enough to go mix myself a drink. But, all joking aside, since Magnesium Citrate essentially cleans out your intestines, it would be inadvisable to drink alcohol, because you won't have any food on your stomach to buffer the alcohol.
well yes for best absorption,but you might upset your stomach,so in the long run the safest bet is to take all supplements with meals
Give it an hour or two. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and be prepared for possible cramping. Taking magnesium is not something you want to do unless you're going to be home (and near a toilet) for the rest of the day.
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
The amount of time that magnesium citrate stay in your system depends on a few things. The biggest factor is the amount consumed.
Anecdotal evidence - instead of taking the Donnatol the doctors have prescribed for Porphyria related pain, I drink magnesium citrate & it works. Donnatol is a muscle relaxer used to stop intestinal spasms. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) works better; but, tastes worse than magnesium citrate.
Usually a couple of hours for me. I never take a full bottle. A half bottle cleans my pipes like nothing else can.
This is a commonly "prescribed" item to use in preparation for a colonoscopy. While the reaction I experienced may not be common, and it may not be fatal, it was sufficiently severe enough that I will not take magnesium citrate. To begin with, I have acid reflux which is controlled by medication and never gives me any problem. However, after drinking the bottle of magnesium citrate as instructed by my gastroenterologist in preparation for my colonoscopy, I could not keep it down and regurgitated about 2 tablespoons of the stuff. I then developed a severe burning in my esophagus, probably due to throwing up. Next came extreme chills and shaking. This continued for quite some time, even though I got into bed underneath multiple covers. When the magnesium citrate began to do what it was supposed to do, and I went to the bathroom, the chills and shaking returned. I sat on the toilet for over 3 hours, covered with a heavy fleece cover, shaking like crazy, eliminating "whatever" from my body. When it became evident that the magnesium citrate had run its course, literally and figuratively, the chills and shaking also began to subside. My feeling is my body reacted to this heavy-duty concentration of magnesium. I will not take this item again.
Magnesium is a mineral so it shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach. That said, each product is designed differently. Some 'once a day/all in one' products don't really have the greatest source of magnesium or it's in the wrong form, so I take a stand alone magnesium product at the same time I take my calcium.
