Magnesium oxide is one of the most popular forms of magnesium and is mainly used for its beneficial effect on digestion. It is ideal for long-term treatment, as it promotes the creation of a stable and lasting deposit. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), magnesium supports protein synthesis, contributes to normal cognitive functions, maintains electrolyte balance and supports the proper functioning of the nervous and muscular systems.

Properties and Benefits

  • helps relieve heartburn and digestive discomfort;
  • aids in alleviating occasional constipation;
  • supports the elimination of excess fluids;
  • contributes to electrolyte balance.

Magnesium oxide is an inorganic magnesium compound widely used for digestive support. It acts as a natural antacid, helping to relieve heartburn and indigestion, and as an osmotic laxative to promote intestinal regularity in cases of occasional constipation. It is also used as a supplement to help counteract water retention and bloating.
Unlike other forms of magnesium, oxide has a lower intestinal absorption rate. For this reason, it is recommended more for digestive well-being than for correcting systemic magnesium deficiency.

FAQ

Magnesium oxide is used to treat heartburn and acid reflux and as a mild laxative to promote regularity. It is also useful for reducing abdominal bloating and improving digestion.
Compared to other forms such as magnesium citrate or bisglycinate, oxide has lower absorption. However, precisely because of this characteristic, it acts locally in the bowel, making it effective for digestive disorders.
It is recommended after main meals to relieve acidity and slow digestion, or in the evening if used to promote bowel regularity. As it is one of the forms of magnesium whose absorption is most affected by food, it is best to take it on an empty stomach, but only if well tolerated, or with light meals low in fat, phytates and oxalates (found in whole grains, cocoa, spinach, black tea and unsoaked legumes). It is always best to avoid taking it with coffee or alcohol, which can limit its absorption. It is important to follow the doctor’s or manufacturer’s instructions on use and dosage.
