Magnesium oxide is truly an amazing substance. When mixed with water and consumed, its unique properties allows it to liberate large amounts of oxygen. The additional oxygen in the intestinal tract encourages healthy, oxygen loving (aerobic) bacteria and at the same time inhibits the growth of unhealthy bacteria and fungi (Candida Albicans). However, magnesium oxide's main cleansing benefits are derived from its ability to promote hydration. That is, once the oxygen is liberated from the magnesium oxide, it reacts with hydrogen to form water inside the intestinal tract. This oxidation and hydration process helps soften and liquefy the impacted and hardened faecal matter. The undigested and putrefying rubbish that has stuck to the bowel wall blocking the absorption of nutrients and creating a source of toxicity is safely and gently eliminated.
It's like Powdered Oxygen: Magnesium oxide is different to other laxatives. It is safe, gentle, and stimulates intestinal cleansing without the griping and cramping pain associated with other laxatives. After all, it's mostly just oxygen and water
