(Magnesium) Why did I have diarrhea??? "I took it because my muscles were shaking"...

Magnesium is good for your bones, helps with insomnia, and more, but be careful because certain types of supplements can cause diarrhea.

According to a recent report in the British media Daily Mail, Dr. Yost, founder of a wellness center in the United States and a functional medicine expert, cautioned against an unexpected side effect of magnesium. Magnesium citrate, which relieves constipation, can also cause diarrhea.

“Magnesium citrate can loosen stools,” he said. “People who don’t suffer from constipation should avoid taking magnesium citrate.”

 

Various types of magnesium... citric acid and magnesium oxide can cause nausea and diarrhea.

 

Magnesium is classified into △magnesium citrate △magnesium oxide △magnesium glycine △magnesium glycine. Magnesium citrate has high bioavailability, but because magnesium and citric acid are not properly separated in the body, it can cause nausea and diarrhea.

Magnesium oxide also requires caution. Its low price and small size allow for large quantities to be packed into tablets, capsules, and other supplements, making it a common choice. Because it's also used as a laxative, caution is advised for those with sensitive stomachs. Excessive intake, like magnesium citrate, can cause nausea and diarrhea.

 

If constipation is not severe, it is also a good idea to choose glycine magnesium... You should also get magnesium through food.

 

Unless you have constipation or other issues, it's best to avoid citric acid and magnesium oxide. They stimulate bowel movements, so if you frequently experience stomach aches or diarrhea, there's no need to take them. Instead, consider glycinated magnesium. Glycine magnesium is a form of magnesium combined with glycine. Thanks to glycine's high bioavailability and calming effects, it's effective for anxiety disorders, insomnia, and other conditions.

 

However, glycine magnesium has a large molecular size, making it difficult to pack large amounts of magnesium into capsules. This makes it difficult to manufacture high-dose magnesium. Therefore, when selecting a magnesium supplement, it's important to consider the content, including the magnesium-bound ingredients. Many products with high magnesium content are made of magnesium oxide, which has a smaller molecular size.

 

Before relying on supplements, it's also important to get your magnesium from food. "It's best to eat magnesium-rich foods like nuts, leafy greens, and seeds, and choose a supplement that's right for you," Dr. Yost said. "Magnesium is also found in fruits and dark chocolate," he said, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet.

 

Sunflower seeds contain 315 mg of magnesium per 100 g, almonds 240 mg, and soybeans 215 mg. Kelp is also rich in magnesium, containing 760 mg per 100 g.
