LIFE-FLO Magnesium Lotion - New, Improved Magnesium Chloride from Zechstein Seabed - Soothes Muscles, Joints When Massaged into Skin - Great for Kids, Hypoallergenic, 8oz Pack of 1, Vanilla

This magnesium vanilla cream smells lovely, and absorbs well with no stickiness. I’m really pleased of how well this magnesium spray and cream work to heal my sore muscles. The product also really helps me sleep at night, when I apply it to my feet before bedtime. Thanks for a great product for a awesome price.

This lotion has been fantastic for my restless legs, and the smell is amazing. It is quite thick, but it lasts quite a long time.

I received my lotion yesterday and have used it twice— so far it seems to relax my over-active muscles and provide some relief . It goes on smoothly without any stinging sensation. The only complaint I have is that the vanilla scent is a little strong. I like vanilla so it’s not a big problem but you may smell like a cupcake when you use this product.

Happy accident that magnesium releavea pain. I can't take magnesium internally as a supplement but the topical lotion or spray works exceptionally well. I try to reapply the lotion or spray every 2-3 hours depending of pain severity of sciatica. To aid in sleep I spray, then massage the magnesium on the bottom of my feet. So glad I found this because I didn't want to start taking pain meds. This product has a permanent place in my first aid kit.

This product really works . If you are experiencing a lot of muscle pain or joints pain then this is what you are looking for😊👍🏾

NFO ON MAGNESIUM - AND - cream had nice vanilla scent and softened the skin...but who knows how much magnesium you get I 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 appetite nausea and vomiting fatigue, weakness ....as it worsens you notice numbness, tingling muscle contractions and cramps seizures personality changes abnormal heart rhythms coronary 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 same nausea, vomiting, fatigue low blood pressure, facial flushing, retention of urine, ileus, depression ....and as it gets worse muscle 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. Diuretics loop 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.

This stuff smells SO GOOD! I got the vanilla scent for my baby, 12 hours out from putting it on him and he still smells like candy! This has moisturized really well, it kinda goes on opaque like sunscreen but absorbs very quickly, so just work in smaller spots for better rubbing in. I did not notice an improvement in his sleep but have only used once so far. Will update as we keep using, regardless we love this as a lotion moisturizing and scent and will keep using it!

I like the vanilla fragrance and the way it absorbs without leaving a sticky feeling.
