I just take magnesium. I take up to 1 gm a day. 500 mg once or twice a day. I don't take it with calcium. I think that you need to take magnesium with calcium for the calcium to be absorbed (I may be wrong on this)--since my purpose isn't calcium absorbtion, I just take the magnesium. I also read about something called "turkey rhubarb", which I haven't tried--it's some sort of seed that helps move things along. By titrate, I mean start at say 100 mg and see the effect, increase the mg until you are no longer constipated. If you find yourself having too many bowel movements a day, decrease the dosage.
