I’m not a doctor so I don’t want to comment from a medical perspective.
But I can tell you that it’s entirely common for some people to take daily mag supplements long term. There are other benefits unrelated to constipation such as cardiovascular, relaxation, and sleep.
The article I linked mentions that Mag 07 is a large magnesium molecule that does not dissolve into your bloodstream nor adds to the body’s need for magnesium. So I don’t think you’ll want to compare it to typical mag supplements or factor in absorption.
As far as a regular mag supplement, there are several different types. I tried a few and ended on this one:
Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, 100% Chelated, TRACCS, Not Buffered, Headaches, Sleep, Energy, Leg Cramps, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free, 100 mg, 240 Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BD0RT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_M3lHDbEPH569D
You really don’t need to endure this agony, the solution is very simple.
Use a shattaf (water bidet) like this
You use low to medium water pressure (never high) and with warm water, hold the nozzle to your anus opening and gently allow water to enter your rectum.
This will do two things:
The slow buildup of water in the rectum will also give you an urge to defecate and will help to smoothly push the stool out.
Once you try this, I guarantee you will use it when needed, and never suffer the agony of constipation.
yes you can buy it over the counter at your local drugstore (walgreens).

It's cheaper on amazon however. also get some small rubber "cots", finger condoms, and try/practice digital stimulation. i do that every day before work to clean out what's in their and relax my lower GI. I started that after i did some pelvic floor therapy, where a therapist sticks their finger in your butt to see how tight you and if your muscles are correctly orchestrated "down there". mine are not.
If you buy a shattaf - many available such as:
Aizhy Hand Held Bidet Sprayer Stainless Steel Sprayer Shattaf Toilet Bidet Shower Head with 49-inch Hose and Bracket Holder https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BLS2HMD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9.pwDbKV7AEGY
And with GENTLE water pressure place nozzle on your anus and let water constantly go up your rectum-don’t force it ofcourse. Set the water temperature to warm or slightly hotter as this helps with the stool softening.
What this will do is soften and break up the hardened stool and let it pass until the whole piece breaks up and expels.
Coconut oil seems to work wonders when it's the first thing I have after breaking a 16 hr fast. I have a tbsp in my coffee and wait 30 mins or more to eat anything else.
For magnesium, I use a tsp of Calm powder if I really need it. Otherwise, I have 2-3 scoops of Ultima and/or Keto K1000 electrolyte powders daily and a magnesium citrate before bed https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Absorption-Magnesium-Glycinate/dp/B000BD0RT0/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=magnesium%2Bcitrate&qid=1565033045&s=gateway&sr=8-12&th=1.
I wanted to find out what exactly causes my troubles before I talk to my doctor again.
I told the guys at the pharmacy about my problem and asked if they would sell me KREON without presc. and they did.
So after comparing the ingredients the constipation fades with a high lipase supplement. I don't get it because undigested fat should cause diarrhea.
Oh I found this on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Pancreatin-10X200-250-Capsules/dp/B000776KK0/ref=pd_sim_121_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000776KK0&pd_rd_r=KDVCET15CFHSXQHBWVNC&pd_rd_w=7Vgya&pd_rd_wg=5w0Wn&psc=1&refRID=KDVCET15CFHSXQHBWVNC
This seems to be equivalent to CREON 4000, cause the number correlates to the units of lipase.
