Does taking magnesium sulphate (epsom salts) for regularity on a daily basis bad!
Question:
Does taking magnesium sulphate (epsom salts) for regularity on a daily basis bad for your health?
I have been taking a teaspoon full every once in awhile to keep me regular but am wondering if too much magnesium sulphate has side-effects.
Answers:
Recent (2004) research at the School of Biosciences, Birmingham University, UK has shown that both magnesium and sulphate are absorbed through the skin when bathing in 1% solution.
The above means that a teaspoon full every once in awhile is not the correct methodology.
You are well advised to reduce your usage and stick to what is generally recommended and considered safe.
