Magnesium oxide shows promise against EHEC
We investigated how a macroporous magnesium oxide-templated carbon (MgOC) could help combat Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a common foodborne threat. MgOC effectively adsorbed harmful Shiga toxins and secretory proteins that contribute to EHEC's virulence while not affecting the bacteria's growth itself. Notably, infected mice treated with MgOC showed an extended survival period. This innovative material didn't harm healthy cells or gut bacteria. However, it also absorbed several antimicrobial agents, suggesting it could be combined with specific antibiotics to improve treatment options against EHEC infections.

I experienced nausea from the NOW Food Magnesium product after initially feeling well. It left a negative impact, resulting in my stopping its use. Now, it sits unused in my room.

Severe food poisoning
20 people found this helpful
Despite positive reviews, I found the Magnesium capsules caused severe food poisoning symptoms. After taking them for five days, I felt strong abdominal pain, nausea, and weakness. The powder inside did not dissolve in water, and I also experienced shaking hands. I do not recommend this product.

Bloating issue

I had high hopes for this product, which did help me sleep, but it caused bloating and constipation. After taking the capsules, I’d wake up feeling uncomfortable. The quality isn’t worth it.
