Frequently Asked Questions

How does magnesium oxide compare to other magnesium forms?

Magnesium oxide contains a higher percentage of elemental magnesium by weight than most other forms (approximately 60% elemental magnesium), but has lower bioavailability compared to chelated forms such as magnesium citrate, glycinate, or malate. It is most commonly used for its digestive (laxative) effects and as a cost-effective high-dose magnesium source. For those prioritising absorption, chelated forms may be preferable.

Can magnesium oxide cause digestive side effects?

Yes -- magnesium oxide has a known laxative effect, particularly at higher doses. This is because unabsorbed magnesium draws water into the large intestine, softening stool and promoting bowel movements. Start with a low dose and increase gradually, and take with food to minimise digestive discomfort.

Is magnesium oxide powder suitable for mixing into food?

Magnesium oxide powder can be mixed into water, juice, or smoothies. It has a relatively neutral flavour. For best results, mix thoroughly and consume immediately. Avoid mixing into very acidic beverages as this may affect solubility.

Is NOW Magnesium Oxide Pure Powder suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW Magnesium Oxide Pure Powder is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It contains only magnesium oxide with no animal-derived ingredients, produced under strict GMP quality standards.
