This is one of the few pregnancy-safe solutions for the absolute agony of being endlessly stopped up while you’re growing a human. I tried magnesium citrate first and it did nothing. DO NOT take the full dose to start. It says take 30-60ml. I took 45 and it was…a lot. Mind you, I had not gone properly in over a month and it was still too much. Stuff cleans you out. I’ve never felt such relief. Next time I used 30ml and honestly I think I could still use less and still have it be effective. Tastes like liquid tums. Not great, not horrible.
Do not use if you have problems

This stuff is great. I was in the hospital for about a week and when I came home I had constipation for about 3 weeks! Nothing worked!! (and I tried a lot of things). But when I tried this, it was amazing. Caution though -- start with a small amount (like a table spoon). DO NOT start with a cupful! ;-)
Good Product

As a chronically constipated girlie for the past 2 years out of no where, this is some of the best stuff I’ve tried. It’s INSTANT. if I take close to the full amount my tummy is bubbling within about an hour. I will have liquid for a few hours but nothing feels better than draining a backed up system so I’ll take what I can get. Stay close to a restroom though.
Glad i found this.

This stuff works! No pain no discomfort just relief. Try it out you can’t go wrong for the price. Had my first bowl movement only 15 minutes after taking it. Very subtle not like other laxatives I’ve heard about.
Works!

Your dosing instructions aren't clear you need to say how many tablets. No one knows how many tablets your ml is
Slack Filled with water and greed.

Growing up Mama would give me Milk of Magnesia (MOM) from time to time. It was thick, and had a minty taste and you had to shake it up because it settled. Today, its water that tastes like fish, which is not the original flavor at all. Honestly I think eating a thick bacon sandwich and having a large cup of black coffee, with a ice cold Topo Chico works better for constipation. Its almost a Roto-Rooter for your Tooter.
Nice

Fast acting . It says cramp free but it gave me cramps once it really started to kick in over an hour later. I struggled with severe bloating and abdominal pain ,and I could not poop , just full and discomfort for about 4 days. The pain was so bad it was affecting my sleep and I didn’t care to eat . . I wanted something anything so I picked this up . After I took it about 30 minutes in I started to pass gas then I had soft bowl movement then another. And hour or so pass and I have full blown diarrhea! I didn’t expect that and it didn’t stop for a few hours but man my stomach pain was stopping and my bloating was going down as well . Light pain next morning but I feel so much better. And lighter . Definitely take the full cup if it’s been days since you had a poop and you’re in pain . It will flush you out .
Really works

24 hours and mission was accomplished! To my relief this really worked on constipation. The cherry flavor was not very good, but not so bad I wouldn’t use it.
Works wonders and tastes better than what you expect

My mom needed to use this while on hospice care and she was thrilled that it didn't taste like chalk and it worked efficiently and effectively. It wasn't harsh and it did what it was supposed to do. I highly recommend having this on hand for anyone who may be dealing with constipation issues. It truly works!

The item didn’t have a safety seal on it when received. The product is good, but without a safety seal, I would not use it.
