Can You Take Magnesium and Triphala Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Triphala has laxative properties. Combining with magnesium (which also has osmotic laxative effects) may cause excessive diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance.

How to arrange timing

Use caution when combining Triphala with magnesium. Separate doses and reduce amounts if diarrhea occurs.
