A member asked:
What is better laxative mag citrate or sulfate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium: Magnesium citrate and magnesium sulfate are both good laxatives. Either of them can be used safely in the short run, but should only be used in the long term if under the supervision of a physician. Good luck.
