Magnesium 400 mg acts like a laxative
I guess this means it's too strong?
The brand I use is the Nature Made brand.
I took Magnesium Oxide 400 mg every day to help with heart palpitations as directed by my cardiologist.
Eventually I didn't need it anymore when I took a break from it since it was causing me to use the bathroom a lot. (I think other defiencies was the real culprit because I later introduced different supplements and then my heart palp fully went away)
I want to resume Magnesium but I guess I was worried 250 mg might be too strong.
I had tried Magnesium Glycinate in the past, but that was for taking it as a sleep aid.
I have considered taking Magnesium Oxide every other day but I don't know if I will still get enough benefits from it.
Anyone have a similar experience with Magnesium Oxide?
