Magnesium is curing me

I think it might be a more person to person basis.  Mag Calm, which is mag citrate, gives me watery shits.  Mag glycinate does not.

Interesting, thanks for sharing the TMI. The Super Mag contains Mg gluconate, aprartate, carbonate and citrate, but no glycinate. Mg Natural Calm does contain some Mg carbonate too, which along with sulphate is one that most strongly moves the bowels for me. Citrate works more gently for me than carbonate and thus seems to absorb better while still providing some hydration and movement in the bowels, unless it's the small amount of carbonate that's doing that.
