Can Magnesium Irritate the Colon?
Author : GeorgeQuestion
I have a question regarding your product Natural Calm Magnesium. My doctor told me that taking Magnesium for a prolong time it can irritates the colon. Is this true? I must say that since I have been taking this product in the evening, I am so regular every morning. However, it would be very sad if this product irritates the colon. Could you be able to reply to me? I am very curious to know your answer.
Answer
Your doctor is partly correct. Most laxatives are made from cheap forms of magnesium like magnesium oxide. Many people rely on these to keep regular. It is never good to use a laxative to keep regular and to depend on a laxative. We should have a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables and fibre to let our body function properly. Not drinking enough water can also cause constipation. If you are constantly constipated, that is not good for your colon either and that will also cause problems and irritate your colon.
Magnesium, a gentle laxative, helps to prevent constipation by relaxing your colon walls when you are under stress, have anxiety, or have too many worries. It helps to relieve tension in colon walls allowing for a normal peristaltic action.
Natural Calm is a magnesium supplement that is very absorbable by your body. When you begin to take more magnesium than your body needs, it gets eliminated in your colon and hydrates (attracts water) it. Water in your colon makes your stools softer and is easier on your colon.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in our body and 95% of the population is deficient. Being deficient can irritate the body in general. I personally take Natural Calm every night before I go to bed.
My suggestion is to listen to your body and do what you feel is best. Your doctor is there to give you knowledgeable advice and can bring a wealth of experience but ultimately, you are responsible for your health.
