I suppose it's the same stuff. You might need to figure out the correct dose for yourself though, meaning to take a little, see what it does, take some more if it didn't make you go, etc. I only took Mag Citrate at night right before bed.
The bottle I got from the pharmacy, that was called Mag Citrate, was a 10 oz bottle and they were saying take the whole. I only took 2 or 2.5 oz at a time and it was sufficient to make me go. (Bear in mind I needed the full dose of Miralax, half, 5/8 and 3/4 dose didn't work, which meant I was pretty C).
The fact it doesn't explicitly say it's a laxative was confusing for me too at first. The generic Mag Citrate I buy sais it's a laxative, but Natural Calm didn't. Thus when I was first looking for Natural Calm, I looked at the HFS. So, I asked for a laxative called Natural Calm at the local HFS (the Whole Foods store at Union Square in Manhattan is the closest HFS), the people there had no idea it was a laxative. I think when I first asked they had Natural Calm -- sleep aid (which is the same, it just helps with your sleep too). When I researched it a bit more and found it was actually the same product that seems to solve so many problems, and went back to the Whole Foods, they didn't have it any more. So I had to order it online...
I think the fact it's a laxative is somewhat of a side effect? In any case, it worked for me.
If you want post what it sais on the package of what you bought, we can figure out what 2-2.5 oz of the stuff I was taking would translate to in your package.
Oh, btw, it does help with sleep, LOL.
