A member asked:
How much magnesium do you absorb from an epson salt bath? if i take 800 mg a day of oral magnesium can the bath daily make me overdose in magnesium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Very little Magnesium is absorbed from topical application while in a bathtub. No the daily bath while taking Magnesium will not make you overdose in Magnesium. Side effect that is commonly found at 800 mg is loose stools. Magnesium is a good remedy for constipation due to its bowel loosening properties.
