Magnesium long term worsens constipation

Magnesium and other stimulant supplements (such as senna leaf) may help tremendously in the beginning. But over time, more and more is required, and then they stop working.

Magnesium Citrate (and other magnesium forms) if taken in larger dosages should only be used short-term or from time to time.
