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

Why dispose Magnesium Citrate?
Magnesium citrate (1:1) (1 magnesium atom per citrate molecule), called below by the common but ambiguous name magnesium citrate (which can also mean magnesium citrate (3:2)), is a magnesium preparation in salt form with citric acid. It is a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative and to completely empty the bowel prior to a major surgery or colonoscopy. It is available without a prescription, both as a generic and under the brand names Citromag and Citroma. It is also used in the pill form as a magnesiumdietary supplement. It contains 11.3% magnesium by weight. Compared to magnesium citrate (3:2), it is much more water soluble, less alkaline, and contains 29.9% less magnesium by weight.As a food additive, magnesium citrate is used to regulate acidity and is known as E number E345.
Why do one has to take in a milk of magnesia when he or she has an in digestion problem?
Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) is most commonly found as a liquid. The magnesium in the liquid can both neutralize excess stomach acid and, if taken in slightly larger doses, act as a saline laxative. This means that the magnesium works to pull salt or a saline solution from the blood into the intestines, therefore increasing the amount of water in the intestines and causing a laxative action. Milk of magnesia is generally considered to be one of the more gentle laxatives, as opposed to stimulant laxatives such as Dulcolax.
What is magnesiun sulfate for?
Magnesium sulfate, commonly known as Epsom salt, is used tor treat swelling and soreness and is also used as a saline laxative.
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
