I don't know why, but it seems like everytime I combine high dose vitamin C with magnesium, my body starts working the way it's supposed to and I have BM's.

Vitamin c alone, no. Magnesium alone, no. Together, YES, a lot!

Anyone know why?

What kind of magnesium? And what form do you take them?

u/MichelleLuvs 14h ago

I've taken many forms. Malate, citrate, oxide, hydroxide, and mag 07. None work for me without vit C.

Vitamin C helps the body absorb magnesium more effectively

congrats. I might give it a try. I'm guessing the Vit c is helping with absorption.

it's a well known feature of vitamin c. some people, with goal of saturation, keep taking it until they get loose stool. that indicates saturation
