This is terrible news for me. I have suffered from cronic constipation all my life and it is the only thing that has ever helped me. I don't know what I will do now. Belive me, I have tried everything throughout the years. Marcia

I use a combination of magnsium citrate and magnesium oxide in tablet form (I crush the tabs and take with water at bedtime) for no constipation issues. I am on iron supplement as well.
