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.
What else can I help you with?

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).
When does magnesium citrate not work as a laxative?

How does picolax work?
Picolax is a combination of two laxatives, sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate, which work by increasing the movement of the intestines, resulting in bowel movements. Sodium picosulfate stimulates the muscles in the colon to push stool through the intestines, while magnesium citrate draws water into the intestines to soften the stool and encourage bowel movements.
Does the magnesium formula rls-h advertised on the web work for restless legs?
Health Canada has never approved this product for RLS. There are no scientific reviews of any magnesium supplement that demonstrates that it relieves RLS. Claims made that it would save billions are a fabrication. The company seems to post to financial web sites. In reality, they are looking for funding on a few web sites. Why would anyone believe their claims? The RLS-H Formula has been sold for years and has 1000's of people using it for relief of their restless legs. Regarding the statement, "there are no studies supporting magnesium and restless legs" A simple search online will prove this wrong. If you searched "magnesium and rls" one can simply see the truth. People must keep in mind that there are organizations working very effectively behind the scenes keeping natural cures away from people. The power of the internet is stopping this. The best thing to do is to try this product, if it does not work a full refund is given.
What to do if Magnesium citrate does not work?
If magnesium citrate does not work for you, consider increasing your fluid intake and incorporating more fiber into your diet to help with digestion. You might also explore other over-the-counter laxatives, such as polyethylene glycol or senna, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Additionally, consult a doctor if you experience persistent constipation or other concerning symptoms, as they can provide tailored advice and investigate potential underlying issues.
How does magnesium citrate work?
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

When is the best tine to take Blue Bonnet liquid calcium magnesium citrate?
Hi, I work for Bluebonnet. The Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate Plus Vitamin D3 is best taken in the morning (1 TBSP) and at night (1 TSBP). The body can only absorb 400 to 600 mg of elemental calcium at a time - that is the reason for splitting the serving size (i.e., 2 TBSP) plus, calcium taken at night helps to support sleep. Regards, R&D Director

Is there such thing as restless arm syndrome?
Though not as common, restless arm syndrome is similar to restless leg syndrome -- an extreme urge to reposition a limb or limbs, then the repositioning doesn't seem to help.I am an MD and I have restless arm syndrome related to stress ( I lost my job; yes MDs can lose jobs), and to eating large meals at night. As with most "syndromes" (= "we" health care professionals don't know much about the cause). The cures are multiple and different cures work for different people.This is a fairly comprehensive website:http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/47/113.cfmLow magnesium to calcium ratio may also be a cause. Magnesium tends to relax muscles; calcium to contract them. Occasionaluse of sleep aids may help, including the benzodiazepine class (eg, Valium, which is a muscle relaxant). Soma, Skelaxin, Baclofen, and Flexeril are other muscle relaxors and are non-addicting. Some of these drugs work in the brain to relax muscles. They can make you sleepy and should only be used before bed until you can gauge the effects.
