Re: Magnesium oxide hurts my kidneys - help!

Yes, all forms of magnesium are ultimately laxatives in the right dosage. So if your'e taking both Oxypowder AND magnesium oxide, you're getting quadruple the amount of magnesium that you should be getting. Not a good plan. You need to switch to something different. Hard, compact stools means you're simply not drinking enough water. Start making flax seed tea and drink at least 60 ounces of water daily.
