Words like "cleanser for the body", if you don't mean in the sense "you could wash off with it, if you didn't have any water," indicate that you've bought into some questionable pseudo-medicine.
To the extent your system needs to be "cleansed", ordinary water should work just fine. If you've actually been poisoned with metal ions, citrates are chelating agents, though I'm not sure how effective they'd be administered orally.
It is a laxative, though, so if you just meant "cleanser" in the sense "it'll make you poop", that it will do. If you're doing this on your own say-so as opposed to having it prescribed by a doctor, definitely take it easy on the stuff; magnesium is toxic in high doses (everything is toxic in high doses) and the typical magnesium citrate preparation has several times as much magnesium as the amount considered "safe". As a one-time thing, as long as you follow the dosage directions on the bottle you should be okay, but you shouldn't make a habit of it.

What is a bowel evacuant?
It's a laxative medicine is used to cleanse the bowel prior to examination or surgical procedures that require the colon to be clean of stools, eg; colonoscopy or barium enema. It is not used to treat constipation. It works because of themagnesium carbonate and citric acid. When these are mixed in water magnesium citrate is formed. Magnesium citrate is the active ingredient of this medicine. It is known as an osmotic laxative.Magnesium citrate works by causing water to be drawn into the large intestine. This increases the water content and volume of the stools, which stimulates the colon to contract and move its contents along to the rectum, so that the bowel can then be emptied.It causes frequent, liquid stools to be passed until the bowel is emptied.

It is a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative and to completely empty the bowel prior to a major surgery or colonoscopy.

Can you drink wine a day after drinking citrate magnesium?
I know that when I take Magnesium Citrate, I can't get out of the bathroom long enough to go mix myself a drink. But, all joking aside, since Magnesium Citrate essentially cleans out your intestines, it would be inadvisable to drink alcohol, because you won't have any food on your stomach to buffer the alcohol.

How does magnesium citrate work?
Magnesium is the pure element, however it is not found in nature by itself, it always bonds with another element. So you have many forms of magnesium such as magnesium Aspartate, bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Citrate, Gluconate, Glycinate, Hydroxide, Lactate, Malate, Orotate, Oxide, Phophate, Picolinate, Propionate, Stearate, Sulfate and Taurate, to name a few. All these different forms have one other element that they are bonded with magnesium + citric acid = magnesium citrate for instance. These different forms of magnesium have two specific qualities A. they have percentage of actual elemental magnesium i.e. how much of the combination is actual pure magnesium e.g. magnesium carbonate is 45% actual magnesium, where as magnesium sulfate is only 10% actual magnesium B. they have a rough percentage of bioavailability (how absorbable and thus useable they are for the body). For instance magnesium citrate is 90% bioavailable and so most of it could be potentially used and absorbed by the body. Magnesium oxide for instance is only 4% bioavailable for the body and so if one took magnesium oxide which had 100mg of actual magnesium in it, there would only be 4mg that the body could possible use. Let me know if this answers your question. Kind Regards, Fifty Pence
How do you take magnesium citrate saline laxative?
Magnesium Citrate: When Your Best Just Isn't Good EnoughGive a patient a glass full of ice-cold cherry flavored mag citrate and a straw, tell 'em to drink it fast, and then...stand back. You'll hear their bowel sounds from the doorway. Mag citrate is a saline laxative--the difference between it and milk of mag is volume. More volume equals more water equals more...well, you get the idea. I love mag citrate, though it should be used with extreme caution in people with electrolyte imbalances. It'll cure what ails you, for sure.Good Luck!Vrij
