Hi happydog,
I can only say from mine and my husbands experience, the Oxypowder is alot different from other magnesium laxatives. With the Oxypowder both of us lost weight. Not just water weight like with magn citrate. It also took away 90% of my hubby's gas issues, and helps me tremendously with constipation. Not just when I take it. But days after. The magn citrate tends to clean he and I out for a day then we get constipation the next days. With oxy we continue to have BMs days after. We also get a lasting relief from bloating.
So I cant say if it is helping you are not. But I personally do think it is far different from other magnesium. And I pretty much would guess the company is going to just tell you what they have on the websight. I got more info just asking Andreas.
Hope this helps.
Katie
