Favorite magnesium product
Even my chiropractor, osteopath, and massage therapist use this brand. (*see note below) Coincidentally it does happen to be my personal favorite magnesium product with a mild vanilla scent. It works great, spreads well. I don’t find the magnesium salts sting like in other products I’ve used in the past. Of note, it can leave a white “stain/mark” on the skin that can transfer to clothing if it’s not rubbed in well or, like me, you use a lot more of the product than most. It’s a minor thing that is outweighed by the benefits.(for me). Using too much also causes flaking off of the product after it dries. Also please know that although my medical team all use this product, this is in no way medical advice just my personal experience. I trust and hope it will work as well for you. Peace

Quality mag lotion.
This stuff is wonderful.. the scent is pleasing and it’s a thicker lotion.. love magnesium boost;)no more muscle ache or twitching legs at night.. product lasts.. worth the money. I’m on my second bottle.I tried the oils.. they didn’t absorb as well on my skin. This is a great moisturizer as well.

INFO ON MAGNESIUM – nice vanilla scent and softened the skin-cheaper elsewhere
NFO ON MAGNESIUM – AND – cream had nice vanilla scent and softened the skin…but who knows how much magnesium you getI have included some information gotten from the NIH.gov site. The information below is intended ONLY as information and NOT medical advice. People trying to dose themselves with anything should talk to their doctors first.One of my biggest problems with magnesium in the form of a cream, is that you do not know how much you are dosing yourself with, or how much is getting in. If they said one teaspoon applied to inner thigh would give you X amount, that would be helpful but I didn’t see anything to that effect.Since magnesium can interfere with a number of medications, IF it could be absorbed through the skin, at a rate that could be stated…this would be a good thing.I have no idea if I am absorbing magnesium. I guess I would have to spring for a before and after lab test to tell. But even this would not really tell me much because only 1% of the magnesium is in the serum, most is put into the bones. Normal blood serum levels of magnesium should be around 0.75- 0.95 mmol/l. The RDA for most people is between 360-410mg a day. 30-40% of the magnesium you eat is absorbed.I can’t tell if my muscle cramps or joint pains are any better. I had no itching at all.I can tell it has a slight vanilla odor, which I like; and that the cream leaves my skin feeling soft.signs of deficiency are:….early:loss of appetitenausea and vomitingfatigue, weakness….as it worsens you noticenumbness, tinglingmuscle contractions and crampsseizurespersonality changesabnormal heart rhythmscoronary spasms….and at a severe level you levels of calcium and potassium decrease.which have their own set of symptoms.BUT you CAN overdose with magnesium supplementation and many of the symptoms are the samenausea, vomiting, fatiguelow blood pressure, facial flushing, retention of urine, ileus, depression….and as it gets worsemuscle weakness, difficulty breathing,VERY low blood pressure,irregular heart rhythm,and your heart stopping.Risk for magnesium overload increases with renal failure as you are not able to excrete the magnesium, and the kidneys are the main organ for regulating the magnesium in your body.That said the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey or NHANES of 2005-6 said that the majority of Americans of all ages ingest less magnesium than the recommended allowances. Especially old men and adolescent females.Especially at risk may be people that have increased loss like diabetics as the increased glucose in their urine makes them urinate more, and those that have decreased gut absorption like those with chronic diarrhea. Alcoholics also may be at risk as well.There has been some evidence that:> increasing magnesium may help decrease strokes (100mg/day decreased ischemic strokes by 8%)> may help decrease the incidence of migraines if taken daily.> It may also help maintain bone density in post menopausal women -elemental magnesium ( magnesium citrate) was used at 290mg/ per day.Medications (in general BUT ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTORS FIRST BEFORE USING, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW YOU ARE TAKING MAGNESIUM OR ANY OTHER SUPPLEMENT, OR HERB) that Magnesium can or does interfere with include but are not limited to things like:Interactions with Medications.Bisphosphonates -(used to treat osteoporosis) can decrease the absorption. Separate use by at LEAST 2 hours.Antibiotics – tetracyclines, doxycyclines, quinolones, ciporfloxacin, levofloxacin. Magnesium can form insoluble clmpleses with them. Again at LEAST 2 hours needs to be between taking BEFORE antibiotics and magnesium, OR AT LEAST 4-6 hours after taking magnesium or magnesium containing supplement. I don’t know how this applies to absorption through skin.Diureticsloop diuretics, furosemide, bumetanide, and thiazide diuretics can increase the loss of magnesium. But potassium-sparing diuretics reduce magnesium excretion.Proton pump inhibitors (for heart burn and gastric reflex) when taken for long periods can cause low magnesium (hypomagnesemia). The FDA says doctors should monitor patient’s levels of magnesium while on these medications. Even taking a supplement with these medications may fail to raise the level of magnesium.

The best sleep hack in a bottle
My ultimate favorite for restless legs and sleepless nights, especially while pregnant. I was having horrible insomnia and having the hardest time falling asleep second trimester. I’m almost finished with third trimester and use this every night and swear by it. Magnesium supplements have helped too, but the lotion is what seals the deal and it’s a part of my nightly routine. I’m buying my 4th bottle and will always recommend this brand. Smells so good too!

Oui pas mal du tout ! j’ai même fait passer des douleurs…

The product is great, but I don’t like that Amazon DE does not provide an option to choose a carrier. Several times I had problems receiving packages – either they are very late or I don’t get a notification and the package does not come to my house, but I have to go an pick it up from a post office.
