Yes, especially within the form of Magnesium citrate. You can buy a liquid solution at most drug stores for below $5. In a capsule this would equal nearly a 400-500 mg dose.
Take the dose as suggested on the bottle then try another if no feat has happen after 4-8 hours.
Also vitamin C in huge doeses (1-2000 mg) will create a lax effect.
No. Magnesium is found in trace amounts within the body. Giving the body an overdose of magnesium will only trigger the body to find rid of it. If your body can't remove the excess magnesium, it can result in the depression of the interior nervous system and within extreme cases death.
