So magnesium oxide is in the Laxative called Phillips caplets:
While you are looking only for laxative action, what are you doing for your supplement needs? It is this that confuses me about your post.

WOW! mrsD, Most informative! Thanks. Much appreciated information here.
Here I'm thinking I was on the verge of OD'ing, and now it appears my 1550mg {being ½ mag oxide} is actually closer to under-dosing. I appreciated the Phillips caplet URL. Their caplets are essentailly 100% mag oxide. I didn't know that.
I can see why you were wondering about the wisdom of my 'daily dose.' Even at 1550mg {only 750mg being chelated mag}, I may be falling short of meeting my daily magnesium needs. Maybe I should maintain the 1550mg and just add more mag oxide should I feel a need to increase the laxative effect.
Whole new ballgame here.
Thanks mrsD ~ james
