A member asked:
Will magnesium citrate cause you to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: It will all be "water weight". Mag citrate acts as a laxative and makes you poop out water/electrolytes. You might see weight loss because of that, but it is not fat that you are losing! too much mag citrate use to lose weight is a possible sign of laxative abuse.
