Magnesium Citrate for Bloating
Magnesium citrate relaxes intestinal smooth muscle and draws water into the gut lumen via osmosis, reducing intestinal stagnation and the gas accumulation that causes bloating. Its prokinetic effect clears stagnant bowel content that feeds gas-producing bacteria.

How much to take
500–1000 mg
Start with 500 mg in the morning with water. May take 2–3 days to establish regularity. Lower doses are preferred for daily use — higher doses (1000+ mg) are for acute relief and may cause loose stools.
