Hi! Matt here from ITL Health with a great question we hear all the time:
Does magnesium make you poop?
The short answer is—magnesium plays a key role in helping you stay regular. It supports countless functions in the body, including intestinal transit, which is just a fancy way of saying it helps move things through your digestive system.
Some forms of magnesium—like magnesium citrate—can have a mild laxative effect. This is due to something called osmotic pressure, which draws water into the intestines and can help relieve constipation. For a small number of people, this effect may be a bit too strong and cause loose stools or even diarrhea.
If that sounds like you and you're finding that MAG365 (our Ionic Magnesium Citrate powder) is a bit too much for your system, don’t worry—there’s an alternative.
PrizMAG, our pure Magnesium Bisglycinate, is a form that’s gentle on the stomach and doesn’t add any osmotic pressure. That means it won’t trigger a bowel movement or cause any digestive upset—making it perfect for sensitive individuals or those who want magnesium benefits without the laxative effect.
So, does magnesium make everyone poop? Not exactly. But if you're constipated, there's a good chance you're low in magnesium. Replenishing your magnesium levels can help restore regularity naturally—without the need for harsh laxatives.
