Magnesium Hydroxide is a poorly absorbed form of magnesium that draws water into the intestines, which primarily functions as an effective laxative and antacid rather than a nutritional supplement for increasing systemic magnesium levels.
How to Take Magnesium Hydroxide
Magnesium Hydroxide is typically dosed at 400-800 mg as an antacid or 1000-2000 mg as a laxative, taken with a full glass of water, is not intended for daily long-term use as a magnesium supplement, and works primarily in the digestive tract rather than being well-absorbed into the bloodstream.
