LIFE-FLOMagnesium Lotion, Vanilla Scent - Relief and Relaxation with Magnesium Chloride from The Zechstein Seabed - Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic, 60-Day Guarantee, Not Tested on Animals, 8oz

I use this lotion every night. It's not sticky and doesn't leave a residue. I think it helps me relax and go to sleep at night. This is my second bottle of this and I plan on ordering it more in the future when I run out of this one. Excellent product

My mother loved this gift! The lotion is on the thicker side so she thankfully doesn’t need to use a lot for each use and can get the most out of the product possible! She said it doesn’t smell and it helps her pain and soreness.

I love this magnesium. When I want a really good night sleep, I massage this cream on my feet before bed. The scent is very light. The produce is creamy and absorbs into the skin very well. I have bought this lotion several times. I don't give 5 stars on any product because I feel it leaves room for any creative improvement.

I started using it every night for muscle soreness and back tension. Just apply a thin layer and it’ll last for hours. A little goes a long way and it’s not super sticky. It won’t ruin your clothes or remain wet.

This is a really thick cream, and it seems to have a good amount of magnesium in it. My eye was twitching and I put a little bit on my eyelid where the twitch was (careful not to get any in my eye). The twitching stopped in minutes. When I use it generously on my legs and arms I sleep like a log. That is a big deal to me. I will be buying this again. It does take an effort to rub it in. It's completely unscented. Good stuff!

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.

My wife used to always get cramps in the middle of the night, our doctor recommended using magnesium lotion and this product has saved us BOTH from being awaken at midnight because my wife got a MASSIVE leg cramp. This product is truly a life saver.

This lotion is amazing, and works well. I use it on my ankle that I broke almost every night since I came out of my cast.
