High magnesium dose — 498mg per 2-capsule serving (132% NRV). The supplier warns that 450mg of magnesium may cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals. Start with one serving and adjust from there. Do not use if you have kidney disease or impaired kidney function, and speak to your GP first if you take prescription medication.
Every other cleanse formula in the range is built on botanicals. This one contains no herbs at all — just magnesium from four sources at 498mg per serving, sugar beet fibre, FOS, vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids and apple cider vinegar. If you react badly to herbal formulas, this is the alternative.
Herb-Free Is the Whole Point
BioBlast, Beet It Colonix, Herbal Colonix and BioKlenz are all botanical formulas built on rhubarb, aloe, barberry and similar. Plenty of people don't get on with those, or have been advised to avoid stimulant botanicals.
MagneBowel does the job differently. Magnesium draws water into the bowel — which is why the supplier describes it as a bowel hydrating formula — and the sugar beet fibre carries the authorised claim for an increase in faecal bulk.
Four magnesium forms are used together: magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium sulphate heptahydrate and magnesium citrate.

How to Take It
Take 2 capsules (1 serving) on an empty stomach, one to three times per day. Adjust intake to suit your requirements, or as advised. Follow with a glass of grapefruit juice, orange juice, or freshly squeezed lemon juice in water — or just water.
Start with one serving. Magnesium at this level affects people very differently, and the supplier's own guidance is to adjust to your requirements rather than begin at the maximum.

Questions We Get Asked
Why is the magnesium dose so high?
Because magnesium at this level draws water into the bowel — that is the mechanism, and it is why the supplier describes it as a bowel hydrating formula. 498mg per 2-capsule serving is 132% of the Nutrient Reference Value, considerably more than a general magnesium supplement. The supplier warns that 450mg may cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals, so start with one serving and adjust from there rather than beginning at three.
Who should not take it?
Anyone with kidney disease or impaired kidney function — the kidneys clear excess magnesium, and high intakes are not appropriate when that is compromised. Also speak to your GP first if you take prescription medication, since magnesium can affect the absorption of some drugs including certain antibiotics.
How is it different from the herbal cleansers?
It contains no botanicals at all. BioBlast, Beet It Colonix and Herbal Colonix are all built on rhubarb, aloe, barberry and similar herbs. MagneBowel uses magnesium and fibre instead, which makes it the option for anyone sensitive to herbal formulas.
Why take it with citrus juice?
That is the supplier's own instruction — follow each serving with a glass of grapefruit juice, orange juice or freshly squeezed lemon juice in water. Plain water is also fine. The important part is taking it with plenty of liquid and on an empty stomach.
Food supplements should not replace a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. High magnesium content — 498mg per serving. 450mg of magnesium may cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals. Not suitable for anyone with kidney disease or impaired kidney function. Consult your GP before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication, or managing a diagnosed health condition.
