Will milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) help you lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laxatives: Nope. Not in any way. This product is very dangerous if used too frequently and the abuse of this product can really harm your GI tract. Laxatives will in no way lead you to real or sustained weight loss.
