Ingredients: Aloe ferox, Magnesium citrate
Who is it for?
Adults seeking a gentle, natural way to support regular bowel movements, reduce bloating, and promote comfortable muscle relaxation and nerve balance—ideal for occasional constipation, sluggish digestion, travel-related irregularity, or wellness cleanses.
Health Benefits Summary
AloeMag combines a botanical stimulant–demulcent (Aloe ferox) with an osmotic mineral (magnesium citrate) to encourage predictable, comfortable elimination while soothing the digestive lining. It supports gut motility, hydration in the colon, and muscle relaxation throughout the body. With consistent, short-term use, AloeMag helps relieve occasional constipation, reduces post-meal fullness and bloating, and promotes overall digestive and metabolic health.
Health Benefits Detailed
Regularity & gentle cleansing
How it helps: Encourages comfortable and timely bowel movements, reducing occasional constipation.
Why it works: Combines a mild stimulant effect (increased colonic motility) with osmotic water draw into the bowel to soften stool and support transit.
Bloating & abdominal comfort
How it helps: Eases feelings of fullness, gas, and pressure after meals.
Why it works: Promotes coordinated motility and softens stool, reducing straining and gas retention.
Digestive lining support
How it helps: Calms irritation and supports a healthy mucosal barrier.
Why it works: Aloe’s plant compounds and the improved stool consistency help reduce mechanical irritation to the gut lining.
Muscle relaxation & nerve balance
How it helps: Supports relaxed muscles and a steady, calm nervous system.
Why it works: Magnesium is essential for neuromuscular conduction and helps offset excitatory signalling for balanced muscle tone.
Key Ingredients Benefits
• Aloe ferox (Aloe ferox; Cape aloe)
How it helps: Promotes predictable bowel movements and provides short-term relief from occasional constipation; assists in gentle cleansing.
Why it works: Natural anthraquinone glycosides increase colonic motility and secretion, drawing water into the bowel to soften stool.

• Magnesium citrate (Magnesium as citrate)
How it helps: Relieves occasional constipation, reduces straining, and supports calm muscles without jittery stimulation.
Why it works: Osmotic magnesium salts draw water into the colon to soften stool and speed transit; magnesium also supports neuromuscular relaxation and modulates excitatory (NMDA) signalling.

Dosage
• Prevention: 1 capsule daily (preferably in the evening with water)
• Maintenance: 1 capsule twice daily (morning & evening)
• Therapeutic: 3 capsules daily (split doses)

Warnings & Interactions
• Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding; with bowel obstruction, acute abdominal pain, unexplained rectal bleeding, or inflammatory bowel disease.
• Aloe ferox (latex): short-term only; may cause diarrhoea and low potassium. Avoid with cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin), certain antiarrhythmics, or diuretics that lower potassium.
• Magnesium citrate: caution with kidney impairment, heart block, or myasthenia gravis.
• Medicine timing: magnesium may bind/chelate medicines (for example, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, bisphosphonates, levothyroxine). Separate by 2–4 hours.
• Not for long-term daily use without professional guidance. Stop if cramping, persistent diarrhoea, or adverse effects occur.
