Milk of magnesia, also known by the generic name magnesium hydroxide, is a medicine that is used as a hydrating laxative and an antacid. It is not a dairy product, but rather a milky-white liquid that is made from magnesium hydroxide, purified water, and sodium hypochlorite. This medicine usually relieves uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms within 30 minutes and constipation within six hours.

Treatment of Stomach Discomfort

Magnesium hydroxide is an alkaline suspension, which means that it is able to neutralize acids. When a patient swallows this medicine, the hydroxide ions in it react with the hydrogen ions in stomach acid, transforming both into water. This makes milk of magnesia effective in fighting excess stomach acid, which can cause indigestion, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. When used as an antacid, the usual adult dose is from 0.02 – 0.05 oz (500 mg to 1,500 mg).

Treatment of Constipation

The magnesium in milk of magnesia is what makes it an effective laxative. The mineral ions draw water into the intestinal tract from the surrounding body tissues. This extra water softens and increases the volume of feces, which stimulates the nerves in the intestines and causes a bowel movement. For the treatment of constipation, an adult dose is between 0.07 – 0.18 oz (2,000 mg and 5,000 mg).

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2,200 people die every day due to cardiovascular diseases—that’s 91 people per hour, more than one person per minute. And while it’s common knowledge that moderate exercise helps prevent heart disease, many researchers now believe that high-intensity training is even better. Studies show that this type of training helps the body transport and use oxygen in a more efficient way than traditional exercise does. The evidence is so strong that many doctors and researchers are introducing interval training into the rehabilitation routines of patients recovering from heart failure and bypass surgery.
