Citrate of Magnesia Reviews

For Constipation "I started my day off in a terrible mood. My stomach was aching, I couldn’t sleep, and my belly was distended. After speaking to a friend, he advised me about this product. I quickly ran to my 1987 Mustang with the top off and rushed to the local pharmacy. With pain in my eyes, I found the product I was searching for. I bought the root beer flavor because it’s the best. I opened it before paying, and with one gulp, it was gone. I don’t recommend drinking this hot, but I needed it. I took the empty bottle up to the counter and paid for it. Reasonably priced, I might add. I stepped back into my hot rod and drove off. Unfortunately, I took the scenic route. Nothing in sight other than trees. I began to feel a strange sensation in my gut. I took it as a playful fart and kept driving. A warm feeling quickly surrounded my cheeks. I pulled over as fast as I could and ran to the nearest tree. ...I would not recommend this unless you are at home."


For Constipation "I highly recommend this product. I have been constipated for several weeks now, and my doctor recommended 2 days before colonoscopy (in addition to prescription prep). I chose grape-flavored CVS brand. I refrigerated it the night before and took it at 6:45 pm the next evening. It is very sour but carbonated, so it was doable. A family member suggested that I eat at the same time to cut down on nausea, which really helped. At first, I felt like my stomach was going to explode because I drank the 10 oz bottle followed by 16 oz of water. Then there was a lot of stomach bubbling. I finally was comfortable enough to lie down and eventually fell asleep, to be then awakened by this urge to pass gas at 12:40 am. Don't do it!!! Find a toilet fast! It works!"


For Constipation "I have been stressed for many months. My nutrition and water intake have changed, and my stomach has been uncomfortable for over a week. I chilled my 10 oz bottle for 30 minutes and had dinner. I drank it around 7:30 and thought I was ready by 8. False alarm, but by 9:45, it began to work. The drawback is, almost a day later, I'm being cleansed. I used the lemon flavor. To make the taste more bearable, chill it and use a mint afterward. Make sure to drink 8 oz of water as the instructions state."


For Constipation "I drank magnesia citrate, it was a half bottle, and I chased it with warm water, and it worked. Within thirty minutes, I was on the toilet. It is very good. My stomach is rumbling as I type, lol. If you try the product, make sure you drink it with warm water."


For Constipation "I have always been plagued with constipation as long as I remember. Maybe it’s what they call “aggravated colon” that I have - a VERY long colon. Colonoscopies, always, are almost impossible to complete. About twice a year I end up in the bathroom from 48-96 hours-torture! Magnesium Citrate is the only thing that helps me. I keep a supply on hand because I never know when I will need it."


For Constipation "I was constipated for 10 days - had tried everything - laxative, enema, suppository, and colon cleanser but nothing worked. After using this, in 4 hours I had some relief."
