what does taking Magnesium Lactate accomplish?

Answer 1

It efficiently accomplishes the transfer of your hard earned money to the bank accounts of dietary supplement manufacturers. Nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 2

It's a good laxative. Magnesium is not well absorbed from oral supplements. My mother once had a deficiency (brought on by an inappropriate diuretic she was given in the hospital) and had to have shots. That way the magnesium was absorbed and she didn't get diarrhea from it. Oral magnesium just runs right out of your body.
