I don't understand the molecular formula or MW for this entry. Magnesium Citrate is Mg2(Citrate)3 and its molecular weight is 451.13. I think the current entries for the formula and weight are incorrect.
[edit] This badly needs work
1. It only talks about it as a laxative. What about as a magnesium supplement? I take it every day. 2. The "dosage" doesn't give a milligram dosage, just an amount of syrup. How helpful is that? 3. I take mine as pills. There are many brands that use pills as magnesium supplements. Why does this only focus on the syrup? 70.72.173.11 17:46, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Are you sure you are talking about "Magnesium citrate pills" as magnesium supplement? That is doubtful. Please verify or give a drug reference. If that is an error, one shall remove any reference to "magnesium supplement" in the article.
- I tried to complete the article with external links and additional descriptions but I dunno not know how to create references (the professional information could be used as reference I guess). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.137.213.189 (talk) 03:13, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
- I think he's talking about Magnesium taurate, not Magnesium citrate. All references to magnesium supplement pills shall be removed. A specific article for Magnesium taurate should be created instead. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.137.213.189 (talk) 03:21, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fix references
Could someone be kind enough to fix the references listed on the page? They're accurate but don't lead anywhere. I'm afraid I'm not a whiz with these sorts of things so I was unable to figure out how through the FAQ. Many thanks --Aethumus 11:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Fixed! --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rebound effect or habituation?
If used as a laxative, is it habituating? Is there a rebound effect, or problem when stopped? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.161.73.15 (talk) 03:03, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
