Electrolytes

Luton MattMember

Hi,

Does anyone ever notice increased irritation from BMs after taking this? If so have you managed to counter balance it with anything? It could be something else but noticed really irritating BMs after taking an electrolyte pill it had sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium

Depending on how much is in there, magnesium salts are considered a laxative. So, yes, that makes sense.

Is this prescribed, or an over-the-counter preparation?

Thanks Jan, hope you are well! It was from a sports supplements website, containing 6mg of magnesium per pill.

That's a pretty small dose of magnesium, I think. Maybe it is the combination. I think it is best to get your electrolytes in solution, not concentrated. But, I don't have issues with dehydration.
