Gentle, non-stimulant GI regularity & bowel motility support - ideal with binders
What it is
A simple, effective formula for those prone to occasional constipation. Each 2-capsule serving provides 700 mg magnesium hydroxide, a non-stimulant mineral salt that draws water into the intestines (osmotic action) to soften stool and support smooth, regular bowel movements.
Why it works
Magnesium hydroxide supports stool hydration and volume, helping move waste through the colon without harsh stimulants. Keeping motility steady also supports a healthier gut environment over time.
When to use it
- Occasional constipation or sluggish motility
- Binder routines (e.g., charcoal, clays, silica) that can slow you down
- Travel, diet changes, or low-fiber days when things feel “stuck”
How to take
- Start with 1–2 capsules with a full glass of water, ideally in the evening.
- Adjust by 1 capsule as needed to find your gentle, regular rhythm.
- Separate from medications by at least 2 hours (common best practice).
How it compares (quick guide)
- Hydroxide: best for gentle stool-softening & regularity (non-stimulant).
- Citrate: tends to be more laxative at comparable doses.
- Glycinate/chelate: typically gentler on the gut; used more for daily magnesium repletion than laxation.
Pair it wisely
If you’re using binders (charcoal, bentonite, etc.), adding 1–2 capsules can help maintain normal motility so toxins move out as intended.‡

FAQ
1) Is it safe for daily use?
For most healthy adults, magnesium hydroxide can be used short-term to support regularity. If you find you need it daily for extended periods, check in with your clinician to assess diet, hydration, fiber, and underlying causes.
2) What’s the difference between magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate?
Both work osmotically. Citrate is often more laxative per dose; hydroxide is commonly chosen for gentle, non-stimulant stool-softening and regularity support.
3) Can I take this with binders?
Yes - binders can slow motility. Many people add 1–2 capsules of magnesium hydroxide to keep things moving. Take with plenty of water and separate from medications by at least 2 hours.
4) Will it cause urgency or cramping?
It’s non-stimulant, so cramping is less common than with stimulant laxatives. Start low (1 capsule) and increase gradually to find your comfortable dose.
5) How soon does it work?
Timing varies by individual and hydration status. Many notice support by the next morning when taken in the evening with water.
6) Who should not use it?
People with kidney disease, on magnesium-restricted diets, or who are pregnant/nursing should consult a healthcare professional first. Discontinue if you experience loose stools or discomfort.
7) Any medication interactions?
Magnesium can affect absorption of some medications (e.g., thyroid meds, certain antibiotics). Separate doses by at least 2 hours or follow clinician guidance.
