Constipation.
Constipation is often a sign that you need to increase your intake of
magnesium, as the
mineral has a laxative effect when taken in high doses. Sarah explained: “This is because it has the ability to draw water into stools, making them softer and easier to pass.Without enough
magnesium, the bolus of food is dry and stiff, which slows everything down and
causes constipation. The bottom line:
Magnesium draws the water into your bowels that keeps your system moving. If you're
low on
magnesium, you'll likely experience
constipation.
