A member asked:
I recently started taking 250mg of magnesium and potassium aspartate and am wondering if this is causing the beige/grey stool that i've had for 2 days?

Here are some ...: It's possible from what reported. But, you may recycle taking it for 2-3 times off and on for 1-2 weeks each and observe what you may see so to confirm the relationship to get the answer for your question.

Not likely: 250 mg of Magnesium-Potassium Aspartate (presumably, 250 mg of each) provides only 50 mg each of magnesium and potassium. Aspartic acid, combined with these minerals, acts as a mineral transporter, to enhance their uptake into cells. I don't know of any reason why this would alter your stool color.
