Conditions Treated Using Magnesium Citrate:

Name: Magnesium Citrate

Description: Magnesium citrate is used as a laxative to ease irregular constipation. It is also used as a magnesium supplement in pills. Magnesium is a mineral that is made by nature. It is required by our body and is important for muscles and nerves. The magnesium content of magnesium citrate corresponds to about 11%. Magnesium citrate works by attracting water through the tissues by a process known as osmosis. It is a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative and to empty the bowel prior to a surgery or colonoscopy. It is available without a prescription. Magnesium citrate Once in the intestine, it can attract enough water into the intestine to induce defecation. The additional water also helps to create more feces, which naturally stimulates bowel motility. This means it can also be used to treat rectal and colon problems. Magnesium citrate functions best on an empty stomach, and should always be followed with a full glass of water or juice to help the magnesium citrate absorb properly and help prevent any complications. Magnesium citrate is generally not a harmful substance, but care should be taken to consult with a health professional if any adverse health problems are suspected or felt. Magnesium citrate, as a supplement in pill form, is also cited as useful for the prevention of kidney stone.
