magnesium actually has a "laxative" effect. it works with calcium to do many processes in the body. with muscle, calcium helps the muscle to contract, and magnesium helps it to relax. your intestines are muscle, and when relaxed, the result is loose stool.
how much are you actually taking?

Hi Storm. Magnesium Glycinate has been shown to have minimal laxative action. Give it a try.
Best wishes and good luck.

Nope. If diarehha is the result of your magnesium intake, then you are taking more than your body requires. Cut the intake in half.

There will not be a laxative effect if one takes less.
