A member asked:

Taking mag07 for about 3 weeks, have not slept for 2 days. what is some other methodsvto detox. or how many should i take per night?

Should not detox: Mag 07 is a magnesium/ potassium supplement. Magnesium in excess causes diarrhea. If you are constipated you would be better off to increase your fiber, add a probiotic, increase your water, or use a stool softener if needed. There is no medical reason to "cleanse your bowel". Magnesium is not a stimulant, so other than having bms at night it should not interfere with your sleep.

Detox fads...: despite what you may hear from ads all day long, our bodies are actually excellent at detoxing themselves, as long as you manage with a reasonably healthy diet and no more than moderate alcohol. do NOT support any of the detox products, unregulated and potentially dangerous. no idea if your insomnia is related - this version ought to be benign enough (just Mg and K?)
