Fellas, magnesium is a life saver for me. I take 400 mg in the morning and evening for 800mg total. It really softened up my stool and I empty out almost every morning now. I usually go 2-3 times a day. It wasn't long ago when I was lucky to go 2-3 times a week!
If you aren't going everyday a majority of the time, you have health to gain. A healthy transit time from mouth to stool is under 36 hours. For peak health, I'd say under 24 hours.
If your stool is normally hard and difficult to pass, start with 400 mg of magnesium and then go to 800 if that doesn't work.
If you just don't get the urge, try the Cascara Sagrada. It will help as I still take it.
I tried every combination of diet known to man including ultra high fiber. I tried drinking 100-120 ounces a day of water. I tried extra oils. Bottom line, my body removes to much water from my stool, naturally. The magnesium keeps more water in our stool which is the key.
