Currently I am taking Natural Calm, by Natural Vitality. I enjoy the gentile laxative effect it has, does this work similarly?

No, I think they're very different. When I take natural calm for a few days I start to feel weird. It also makes me have to go to the bathroom excessively. This one feels very different and what it does is calms down my muscle spasms.

It is not suppose to have a laxative effect because ionic minerals are absorbed at the cellular level - at least that is what they claim.

I have read that information also and when I presented this to my GI Doc with his knowledge of my long-standing problems with IBS-C, he thought it was fine for me to use indefinitely. He actually said the thinking on use of some laxatives over time is changing, particularly for those who have not found other alternatives that work for them, so that this would be acceptable in that situation. I have used it for a number of years without a problem or need to increase the dose. It is best to try other things like drinking more water, using more fiber first, but for some, those measures do not work.

In my experience with drinking this over the past week it hasn't had any effect on my digestive system as mentioned. It's delicious and good for you but I haven't noticed an increase in amount or frequency of bathroom visits. You would probably want to look into a different product if that's specifically what you're looking for.

Yes, that is the magnesium and it is like a cleansing. That also happened to me but finally it all settled down to a normal pattern. It will eliminate constipation if you've ever suffered from it for sure. It also helps to visit their website to understand the product more fully. Www. Jigsawhealth.com. I've been on the jigsaw complete for almost a year, it is an excellent product! I'll never get off of it.

I just came across this when looking for the adult unflavored calm-mag by natural vitality. I have started giving my toddler the plain adult version in a very small dosage-it's free of sugars, which I like. The flavored ones, even for adults, contain stevia which my body does not react well to ingesting. Today I gave her 1/8 of a teaspoon, which I'll probably do every couple days to ease into it.

You should give it a shot, natural is the only way to go for me,give it a couple of weeks anyway,good stuff and it works..

It does not have that effect on me. It is very uplifting and it is somewhat helpful in the digestion area, but not diarrhetic to me. You'll just have to try it yourself to find out. It is a very healthy addition to a diet.

I am not qualified to answer but it helps me relax Myles's and I am sleeping much better-and as a result feel better in the morning! I took plain old magnesium but I never noticed a difference. An employee at the health food store recommended this brand and said the glycinate version is absorbed much better. After trying it, I agree.

Magnesium Citrate is such a laxative that it is dosed before a colon exam! Versus this Magnesium Glycinate, easiest gastrointestinal Mag & this lower-priced & pure bulk form w/o bad additives/fillers often in pre-encapsulated. You can drink or put into capsules yourself (PureCaps on Amazon best). If you prefer flavored, Vitacost's Kirkman Buffered Mag.Gly tastes good w/o bad additives/fillers & is comparably priced :)

I take them any time. They're not a laxative. That just add fiber. I like them a lot.

Yes ma'am the scent is 100% natural. As far as using it for massaging, im not sure.

I have to be honest and tell you that I threw out this particular package after putting the erythritol in another container. The other brand I have in the cabinet (Wholesome sweeteners Zero) says 6g. As long as the ingredients list reads erythritol only (no other additives or mixes of sugar subs), I am not picky about brands. I go for good price and prime eligibility. That said, if you do some research on sugar alcohols, you will find that the carbs are considered negligible for erythritol. It does not affect blood sugar levels (non-glycemic). It is absorbed in the intestines but comes out almost unchanged. BTW, I use 1 tablespoon (like things sweet) in my morning coffee (giant cup), and it definitely has the laxative effect some sources indicate.:-)

I just read a comment stating they didnt get the paper. Well it said ti avoid all sugar except natural sweeteners like stevia, msg and other additives because it feeds the parasite. I don't remember exactly what it said, I took it a while ago, but it encourages you to eat many raw leafy greens and fresh veggies. U can blend together using only a. Green apple sweeten. No other fruit! U can eat, I forgot if it said organic or pastured eggs, chicken and turkey. Brown rice, quinoa, spelt and if u eat pasta it should only be made of the grains listed. You can eat beans, no juice or dairy. I may have left some grains out but I don't remember. Oh and drink tons of water because this can constipate you, u want all of the dead parasites to flush out of you, if you are constipated they are staying inside of you. I personally got diarrhea from it lol. Hope this helped!

Hi Dawn,I ordered this & if your looking for a appetite suppressant I would not recommend this at all. I felt it was a real wast of money for what it was suppose to do. I did however enjoy the ViSalus shakes along with my husband. We notice after using it for 8 / 9 months it stopped working for us so we stopped using it for a weight lost control. I feel that your body gets use to it & if you use it for 6 months & change it up then go back it might work better. K. Manz

There is a natural component in aloe vera gel that causes a laxative response. That action is different for each person. I can take two and it does not effect me. I would suggest taking one to start with if you are concerened. I have not experience pain or discomfort from them. I do not experience Gerd and my upper and lower digestive tract feels soothed. I had gall bladder surgery a few ago and the gel really helped me digest food better.

Yes, it does! However, it will make you go to the bathroom, although it is NOT a laxative. You should notice subtle weight loss - nothing dramatic. It is a great appetite suppressant and with a healthy diet, portion control and light excercise you will definitely notice a difference! Good luck.
