Can you call your Gi ? Or pcp ?
Most magnesium is a laxative.
Citrate, oxide and others.
There are 2 forms that are not laxative even though docs will say they all are
Magnesium glyconate (Drs best brand)
Magnesium maleate ( source naturals)
Those are the ones I use. They are fully absorbed and don't end up in the gut like the others.
Most cronies are mag deficient and if you take calcium you have to take mag otherwise the calcium end up in the wrong places like arteries. D3 and k 2 also should to be taken with them.
