Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I take magnesium to promote regular bowel movements. Magnesium draws water into the colon to stimulate regularity. I have been taking capsules, (1000 - 1500 mg) per day depending on the brand, for a couple of years and they work like a charm. I bought these caplets to try because they were less expensive. Total waste of money. I could tell immediately they were not working so I upped the dosage and my water intake. Still not working. Today, I actually had to have an enema to have a bowel movement - hard as a rock. I don't know if they even contain magnesium or if it just doesn't absorb in this form (caplet). I am so disappointed - not to mention miserable.
