4. Digestive problems and constipation

Magnesium helps with constipation by bringing water into the intestines to make stools softer and easier to pass. It also relaxes the muscles in your digestive system to support smoother bowel movements.
How to take it for this condition:
- For digestive issues, consider magnesium citrate or oxide.
- Take 400–500 mg at night.
- Don’t use magnesium laxatives for more than a few days straight unless your doctor says it’s okay.
- Drink plenty of water.
