mrsD, please forgive my density. For maximum laxative action, wouldn't the magnesium with the least absorption rate make the best laxative?
My primary reason for taking magnesium is to establish and maintain regularity. At my current consumption rate of 1000-1500 mg of poorly absorbed magnesium oxide, I would think I'm getting enough absorption of magnesium for my normal daily requirements? My fear was in consuming too much magnesium.
